Lovelly boat, well appointed, comfortable chairs and beds. Cabins were a miracle of compactness, shower worked well and was hot. Sailing up the river was lovely, so was Worcester. All good. 4 guests were over 90; several were in their late 80's. The Morgan factory tour was fascinating but too long for this age group, and the steam train rides were difficult for many guests to work out; we ended up relying on 2 of the guests who ended up taking responsibilities for times and tickets.

The cruise went well especially because of the weather. Two things I have already mentioned is:- 1. Please have sharper Knives. It was difficult to cut some of the meat! 2. Getting back late from the trips because travel was slow owing to Rush Hour traffic meant one did not have much time to get ready for dinner.

Crew were excellent. Visit to car factory very interesting but the rest of the Cruise terrible.

Very comfortable and very well looked after. Tours interesting. Didn't do the Gloucester docks tour but walked to the cathedral. Alternative arrangements necessitated due to water levels.

The cruise was good with a couple of exceptions, ie. The first main meal was cold and I could not cut the lamb, the last meal was frankly horrible. Every other meal was really good and the chef was very kind about my being pork intolerant. Everything else was up to your usual good standard.

I thoroughly enjoyed this short holiday. The food was excellent. The visits to various locations were interesting and well organised. The cabins are small but adequate for all eventualities. The boat captains, Jay and Matt, were superb and the support staff Colman, Olivia and Vicky were very efficient and personable.

An excellent company providing an excellent service. The cruise was most enjoyable, the company of other passengers and the staff was also so very enjoyable and memorable. The crew were most entertaining with both Katie and Taylor always smiling and being so helpful all the time. When serving meals each would have an appropriate comment. Matt, our Captain was very informative and along with Jay kept us informed about things to notice as we glided along the river. The Cook, Colin, produced some of the best meals I have ever tasted. Every meal was professionally prepared, cooked and presented. I wish he worked in a restaurant near us !! The first Mate, Conrad, made us feel very confident that he had everything under control and hosted the daily Quoits competition impartially and with such good humour. I thoroughly recommend this cruise and the English Holiday Cruises company. First class every day.
