Highly enjoyable cruise despite the questionable use of the boat's loudspeaker. The hour on the boat went past incredibly quickly. We went on a cold (8 C) misty day, but the boat was comfortably warm. The electric motor made for a peaceful and almost entirely quiet ride along a gorgeous canal/river route.
The only problem was the narration of the points of interest, which were simultaneously announced over the loudspeaker (in Dutch) and in the headphones (in the selected language), making it very difficult to hear the translation in the headphones. Since Dutch is one of the choices for the headphones, there is absolutely no need for the loudspeaker to play anything other than the driver's comments.
Other than this glaring fault, the cruise was well worth the price of admission.
