Great pancakes but the route is terrible and you don’t see anything interesting, so the point of this are the pamcakes, nothing else

It was amazing! The pancakes (crepes, not American pancakes) were AMAZING! We had so much fun, and I would definitely recommend this cruise. I thought that they were going to be talking about Amsterdam and showing important monuments or buildings, but it was just pancakes.

This was one of our favourite experiences the whole holiday. Well worth the price and so much fun! They had loads of toppings to put on our fresh pancakes and we gorged ourselves, the view was also really pretty.
