The trip was pretty choppy since the captain went through several wakes from other boats. There was also a lot of down time where the recording wasn't playing.

You get what you pay for, recorded descriptions, some frosted glass, the engine at the back is loud. The canal bridges are so low that the boats cannot be high so sometimes you cannot see much.
