You can throw things if you want, but I think the canal cruises you get by Centraal station are a disappointment.
Especially the ones on closed boats where you sit crammed in with 30 other tourists, staring out the windows of the low cabin, straining your neck to look up at the bridges.
Just don't do the above.... it's a boring ripoff.
Here on the other hand, is a great place to get a small boat where you can sit topside, eat, drink, smoke, and enjoy & see the canals of Amsterdam as the should be seen:
Saint Nicolaas Boat Club
you cav sign up for Saint Nicolaas Boat tours at Boom Chicago only
Be picky. Find a small, more open cruise boat where you sit topside in the open.
Better yet, rent a small boat for yourself and cruise where you want to go. Leave a Comment

Well, just ask for the ticket that you are interested in because if not you will probably waste some money. Leave a Comment

 Trapped! by LolaSanFrancisco
And that did it. It was Fear and Loathing in Amsterdam, I freaked out. I climbed in the canal boat, sat down and looked at said boyfriend in the face and firmly told him I was going to die, and that my heart was exploding. I put my head in my lap and cried. And off we went….
Then just like that! Snap. I was floating… calm waters, beautiful views, slow and serine. I was going to live! I sat up and smiled, thinking, “Close call.” And just then, tour conductor lady started talking. She informed everyone that we would be on the little boat for an hour and a half and we were on a special tour of Gables. “WHAT!” I shouted out loud to the dismay of tour conductor lady. “WHAT” having two parts to it. Why! WHY so long? And: What the *** is a Gable? Well, an hour and a half later I knew. They are the stupid things that stick out of the tops of the buildings in order to haul furniture into the thin Dutch houses.
I still have the photo the tour company takes of everyone on that trip. At the end of the tour, all the photos are stuck up on this board. I saw mine and took it. I realized later that we had to buy them (dumb ass me) but the Dutch are too cool to go running down the street after some idiot American high on grass, lucky for me.

 Ruth all excited before the
canal tour by barryg23
Maybe make it one of the first things you do in Amsterdam as you will most likely have covered the same route on foot otherwise.
Perhaps rent a pedal boat and explore the canals yourself. Leave a Comment

 canal cruise ship. by excitableone
pick one that suits you, are you the romantic type? then maybe an evening candlelight dinner cruise is up your alley, or maybe your an adventurist then you'd rent your own boat. but at some point you need to take a trip around amsterdam's many canals via some form of boat it's very beautiful.
there are even smoke friendly canal tours available check out the dolphins coffeeshop for details on they're canal cruise. Leave a Comment

 Boat by nighthawk
forget all the people around you and try and get a place where you can stand up and stick your head out
become friends with a local from Amsterdam who owns his/her own boat! far more fun! Leave a Comment

 One of many Canal Cruises
through Amsterdam by seamandrew
Enjoy the trip through the canal. It's not everywhere you can explore a city via it's waterways.
Rent a bike and try peddling your way around. Leave a Comment
