“Unforgettable trip with Season's cruise(Allepey)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We had a awesome time visiting Allepey backwaters. The houseboat trip was our main attraction of the trip. I did some research and finalized on Season's cruise. One of the main reason being, I had read some reviews here with other travelers mentioning that the Houseboat is same as the picture they have put on their site. I do agree on that 100%. We started the journey with little apprehension if all our expectations will be met or will we be taken for a ride. After meeting Joffy our fears vanished as he took care of the trip very well. When we arrived on our houseboat (was a classic styled) it was like a dream come true, with very nice interior, a very capable and attentive crew, and our 1 day journey in floating house began. We booked for 1 day full stay. The boat was 2 storied, with a sitting area in the front with dining, the bedroom was nice and windy (we opted for non-AC), the upper deck had 2 sitting areas, one in the front with 2 lounging chairs and one in the back side. The meals were very simple, traditional but very tasty. They do take special requests if you want to eat any particular sea food. We immensely enjoyed our trip, the whole day just soaking in the beauty of nature around us. I couldn't have asked for a better houseboat. We got what we had thought and more. The crew were very able, experienced and nice. When the time came to end our trip, we left with so many happy memories and beautiful visions in our mind. Though the trip ended but I want to come back again and again. Thanks Joffy and the crew for their hospitality, we appreciate their efforts.

Finally i had floated in a houseboat !!!
It was one of the most memorable moment in my life. I just got diluted in the beauty of "gods own country". It was on May 25th 2011.

I deeply thought what made this trip so special.

1. My loved one was with me.
2. The breath taking beauty of Vembanad, Alleppy
3. I should admit the hospitality / service / kindness (what ever you call) of the house boat crew
4. Such a wonderful/tasty/lovely food
5. Beautifully carved boat, neat clean rooms.
etc
etc
etc

I wanted to eat a fish which was caught in front of me... I just told the crew.. i got it.

If you want to go alone or with family or with ur lover one, this is the place.. I strongly recommend season cruise.

Seasons Cruise .. you rock !!!

“A lovely way to experience the backwaters and Alleppey ..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

We started off on our much awaited houseboat journey in the enchanting backwaters of Alleppey which we knew was going to be the most memorable part of the trip. A three member crew was exclusively at our service . We were served authentic Kerala food. We saw the untouched nature of Kerala village life on both sides along with lush paddy fields called ’kuttanad’ set in the grids of canals. The experience was amazing. The houseboat sailed deep into the back waters and parked in the evening at 5 pm. Truly,one thing about kerala is that each person there knew English, at least, the basics.

Had a very good exp and we will come back soon. Thanks Joffy and Crew.

“Not very happy with the cruise”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2011

We went to Kerala during 09-Apr-2011 till 14-Apr-2011 and we stayed in this house boat on 13-Apr. This was off-season as it is quite hot in Aleppy. We booked the house boat for Alleppey - Kumarakom, Deluxe Service, One Night - Rs. 6,000/-

When we reached there, Mr. Joffy [--] said that pl take the Aleppy round itself and he changed the tour to aleppy round itself.

It is confirmed that Kumarakom is much-much better backwaters than Aleppy itself.

Moreover, food that was served was not good during dinner although it was good at Lunch. They didn't took us for the complete trip also. They started at 12.45PM and they stopped the boat at around 1.30 to have the lunch and driver started sleeping. On our repeated requested, they started the boat at around 3 PM. After one hour, our cook said that he wants to cast his vote and it won't take more than 5 mins (sadly, it was election day). I said ok. Then he stopped the boat near his constituency and he went for boating and came back after 25 minutes. After some time, he stopped the boat at 5.20PM itself for night stay. Effectively, he didn't drove us for complete time.
Moreover, he stopped in front of his house at 5.20PM. Then he took all the food to his house to prepare the dinner. Dinner was horrible. He didn't even served us with pickles or papad or even salad.

He fooled us for the entire journey.
