Wonderful experience but still feel let down

Just finished a weeks trip in south Holland on de Amsterdam. The barge was very comfortable and well presented. The food was delicious – plenty of food at breakfast to prepare lunch including a piece of fruit and water. The bikes were of a good quality and the bike staff were very helpful. The only thing that spoilt my experience was because of the large number of Germans on board the English speakers felt like second class citizens. For eg On the second last day after ordering a drink in the bar I was told to move because there was not enough space for the Germans to have there briefing. As the sun deck was closed because of low bridges I had to go to my room to have my drink. Also the only English channels on the TV were US stock market shows.
