Do not ask me for feedback when the captain and his colleague both are racist. I think their names are James and Jamie. When I complained about the AC not working they started talking trash and telling me that is working and told I can try to close the door knowingly very well that the door cannot be closed. I repeated my complaint and they again using racist language. After some time magically they fixed the AC issue. How did they fix and why did not they acknowledge initially that there was an AC issue?

We were lucky, despite it being a hot August day and we being a group of 7 we didn't have to wait in queue and found seats without difficulty.

Long wait to get herded onto the boat like cattle, then look through dirty windows. I stood under one of the anemic speakers and could hear some sort of commentary, but it was far quieter than the chatter of the passengers. I suspect most of them had no clue the commentary even existed. This was not a city cruise, it was a expensive, noisy, crowded ferry boat.

The cruise itself is a nice way to see the river. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed the humour of the commentary. However, the downsides were firstly the wait when we arrived at the pier - despite booking a time slot, we were told that we had to wait for the next one and this meant waiting in direct sunlight and uncomfortably warm temperatures for almost one hour. The boat itself was also very warm. And whilst our journey back was on time, the boat was forced to wait in the middle of the river whilst another City Cruises boat was in the dock and this added almost an extra half an hour to the journey which again in the heat was quite uncomfortable. However, we appreciated the staff for keeping everybody informed about the delay and trying to keep spirits up with humorous commentary in the meantime. So timing could be better as could maintaining temperature on the boat.

It would have got at least one more star if the pre recorded â€˜guideâ€™ had coincided with where we were on the river. It was also annoying to have a constant stream of advertising being played to us on the same recording. It was much better with the live guide.

The cruise itself is a nice way to see the river. Staff were friendly and we enjoyed the humour of the commentary. However, the downsides were firstly the wait when we arrived at the pier - despite booking a time slot, we were told that we had to wait for the next one and this meant waiting in direct sunlight and uncomfortably warm temperatures for almost one hour. The boat itself was also very warm. And whilst our journey back was on time, the boat was forced to wait in the middle of the river whilst another City Cruises boat was in the dock and this added almost an extra half an hour to the journey which again in the heat was quite uncomfortable. However, we appreciated the staff for keeping everybody informed about the delay and trying to keep spirits up with humorous commentary in the meantime. So timing could be better as could maintaining temperature on the boat.
