Enjoy the canals cruise and Dinner. Quality and friendly staffs.

The 2.5 hours cruising was so relaxed and staffs were friendly and services was good. Serve with drinks and have our first starter and the food was nice. My friends were having fish and find it blend no taste. Steak is fine and with the potatoes pie. I like the soup as it is special. Highly recommended for couples who wants to enjoy a quiet dinner with your loved one.

Despite emailing CD in advance advising of them of dietary requirements and being assured they could be catered for and confirming that at boarding I was struck down.

We tried to confirm with the staff that the meal would be gluten-free on board as well.

The lighting, whilst intimate was insufficient to see what you were eating.

The starter was served and we began eating. Part way through the meal the chef came and took the start away as the mayonnaise used was not gluten-free. It was too late and I suffered the trip breaking out in a violent itchy blotchy red rash and needed the toilet several times.

It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Muito legal. Comida boa, atendimento atencioso. Mas acho que antes de fazer o passeio, dê uma andada pelos pontos principais da cidade, à margem dos canais, pois o barco passa junto aos pontos turísticos importantes e não são apontados pelo guia. Apenas é feito um breve comentário em inglês, sem apontar-se para qual prédio, ponte ou monumentos estar se falando.

Staff on the boat were very friendly...I was alone and when possible between duties they came and chatted. Food excellent and served very well and there was as much wine as you wanted. One man preferred beer and this was no problem either. A very pleasant and relaxing evening.. thank you

The dinner was nice. But the views didnt really make it worth to dine on a boat as such. It was a full day light and the views of dirty houses, boats and rain made it rather depressing. All I wanted is simply to get back on land and warm up. It was a freezing day. It was not a night cruise, which is what I hoped for.

A part from the fact that we never got to understand why we neded to be there 15' beforehand - since a group of Germans boarding another boat got priority - we enjoyed the trip very much. The dinner was very good. The desert was not overwhelming, then again, I personally am not much of a desert person. The lady friend accompanying me is a desert person and - after the lovely meal all together - seemed to have expected more from it.

All in all, a lovely, quiet trip alonside the canals, something to see and talk about whilst having a rather nice meal with an acceptable wine.

I personally congratulated the chef for a real good job in a not overly comfortably tiny space. I congratulated the young waitress too. They were both working in difficult circumstances and her kindness/friendliness and his good cooking made it a very enjoyable evening all together.

Cannot praise the Dinner Cruise enough, the boat, the food, the city, the chef - everything was absolutely amazing! Of course, we were very lucky to even be on the boat, as CityDiscovery never bothered to send me any confirmation, merely debiting my account and counting the money. It was only the hard work and perseverence of the extremely friendly staff canalside, who wouldn't give up and and chased CityDiscovery until they gave them our code directly which enabled us to take the cruise. Take the cruise, you will never regret it! Just book it on the day (apparently there is good availability outside of peak season), the office is directly opposite Centraal Station!

Please note that this is a typical romantic couple thing, not something for singles. This worked out perfectly for us, but might confuse other people.

There is no traditional cruise explanation as you get on typical canal cruises, hence the remark about it being typically for couples as a romantic thing.

Big kudos from us for this!Thanks you!
