| Initially shopping for a "weekend getaway" to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thought of going up to Lake Powell, but that is now closed for the season. Sought assist from our AAA Office. Surprisingly, they had nothing to offer or suggest??
Searched (Online) next and discovered Website for the Twilight Dinner Cruise at Canyon Lake. Extremely pleased with our choice to celebrate our anniversary this way for the evening. Even though we did not find "a weekend getaway."
Certainly it gets darker early at this time of year. Enjoying the sights is limited, even though the Captain narrates. Then again, it's a (Twilight dinner Cruise) not their Nature or Rainbow Cruise during the day.
The Captain, crew & staff made us feel as great guests. Tableclothes & napkins with candle at the table. A special, well-planned & prepared dinner. Other services too.
I told staff to have a Representative make contact with AAA out here..... I do not understand why they have nothing to pull up or recommend such as this in their data base. Unless the AAA agent was lazy and didn't help us with a search?
Dolly Steamboat also offers a AAA Member ticket discount, which was $3.00 each.
I called their office to get the code to enter for the Online purchase. This trip for us from Surprise, was two hours. Guess, I've said plenty. Thanks again. |

| This twilight dinner cruise on the Dolly Steamboat was much more enjoyable than expected! We had been given tickets as gifts last Christmas by one of our sons and his wife; however, kept putting off the experience as we were busy with other things. We finally arranged to go last Saturday evening. We found everything well-organized and the crew very friendly and accommodating.The buffet -style meal was excellent. Because we are an older couple, one of the crew members offered to go down to the lower deck and bring our food up to us! Later, we learned that this thoughtful person was filling in for another crew member who could not work that evening, and that he was the alternate captain! We visited with him somewhat during the cruise and learned a lot about the history of Canyon Lake and the surrounding area. We are looking forward to taking this cruise again in the near future. |

| The cruise was pleasant, and the food fine. It would have been much better if the cruise had started an hour earlier. We went in November and the sun set an hour after we left so we spent most of the time in the dark. It would have been much more enjoyable if we had gone at a time of year when the sun was out longer or if there was a full moon. That way the we could have seen more of the canyon. |

| We book this curse for a family event with out of state guest. We had a party of 11, and the evening was outstanding. The staff made everyone feel very welcomed, and they provided some great information about the lake and the area. The food was excellent, and served in a very organized manner.
This trip was everything that we expected it to be, and we have recommended it to several friends already.
We are looking forward to taking this cruse again. |

| During my family's visit the first week of November, we traveled around most of northern Arizona. Since they live near water back east, I thought the Dolly Steamboat would be the perfect end to their trip to our beautiful state. And, it was. They thoroughly enjoyed the serenity and beauty of Canyon Lake. We took the dinner cruise and the food, service and narration of the scenery around us were awesome. I highly recommend this cruise. |

| We only had two comments:
1) With all the H1N1 going around, soap in the rest room (both on the dock and on the boat itself) needed to be restocked.
2) We would have enjoyed more daylight to see the sights. It was dark within about 30 minutes of the 2.5 hour boat road, so the majority was in the dark ... kind of missing the point for us, we wanted to see scenery.
Food was very good. Service was very good. We were on the boat with a pretty geriatric group, and the crew took good care of them. We were able to tend to our own needs. |

| If you're looking for something scenic or relaxing or romantic - or all three - then this dinner cruise is a must. The staff is great, the lake is beautiful and quiet. It's the perfect ambiance whether you're with friends or on a date. Highly recommended. We will definitely do this again. |
