The service was all good, and the boat trip was nice. The only down point were the roof glasses partially scratched and not very useful as windows making difficult to see the outside.

Nous n'avons pas pu vraiment apprécier cette croisière sur le canal dans la mesure où il pleuvait et qu'à l'intérieur du bâteau on ne voyait rien. Une raclette était bien fournie pour enlever la buée mais celle-ci revenait tout de suite et par ailleurs les vitres étaient couvertes de gouttes de pluie. Impossible donc de donner une évaluation sur cette croisière, dommage !
