The London eye had amazing sights and not a long wait. If you have time to do this experience it's a must see on your list for London. As for the Thames cruise we ran out of time and couldn't use it so only get it if you know you will have time to use the combo pass to both attractions I tried to get a different time but policy is strict. The customer service was nice nonetheless when I asked them.

Booking the London Eye and Thames River Cruise was a fantastic experience. The process was smooth and well organized, saving time and avoiding long queues. The London Eye offered breathtaking panoramic views of the city, while the Thames cruise was relaxing and informative, with great commentary and iconic landmarks along the route.

The problem was the cruise on the Thames—nowhere did it say that it would drop us off in another part of the city—it left us at London Bridge and there we had to figure out how to get back to Big Ben where we had boarded, and then go up the London Eye. If it was a combo, why didn't it specify this?!
