The cruise was wonderful, we even saw a bald eagle. I would recommend the less expensive afternoon cruise over the expensive dinner cruise. The prime rib was cold and not very flavorful. The chicken tasted good but was overcooked. Oh well, they are sailors, not chefs. |

Beautiful, relaxing, highly recommended |

If you're looking for a way to enjoy some of our most beautiful desert scenery, I highly recommend this cruise. The setting is very relaxing, the crew gracious and accommodating, and the dinner was very good. I think children and maybe even young adults might find it a tad boring, but we found the cruise to be peaceful, relaxing, and a great way to unwind. A very enjoyable experience, we'll definately go again. |

A great way to spend a summer's evening in Arizona is the Dolly Twilight Dinner Cruise on Canyon Lake. Just to get to the lake is fun, as the 15 mile ride up the Apache Trail is full of twists and turns and desert beauty.
The Dolly Steamboat Cruise left promptly at 5:30 PM, with the happy music of "Hello, Dolly!" The desert canyons and steep, rocky cliffs were awsome to see. There was always the possiblity of seeing some desert wildlife, and our Captain was quick to point them out. He also pointed out interesting and fun rock formations.
The cruise took a wonderful turn when the sun starting setting. And dinner was delicious and well organized.
Great fun for 2 1/2 hours! |

Very dirty Lake (lots of trash, mirky waters), geriatric crowd on the twilight dinner cruise. Food was ok (not great), staff extremely friendly and very attentive (if it were not for the staff, would have scored 2/5 stars. Star gazing was nice, but pretty pitch dark for last 30 minutes of cruise. Pretty expensive for what they offer. |

It was the most relaxing and enjoyable 2 1/2 hours spent. The food was great, the view was undescribeable and the ship crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. |

Would go again |

We went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise with Captain Tom. We definitely would go again. We like his naration and description of what we were seeing. The filet mignon was just right and the setting could not have been better. While it was dark when we returned, that did not spoil the cruise. |

enjoyable evening |

This was one of the most fun things me and my boyfriend have done together! The food was EXCELLENT and the scenery was amazing. We were sat at our own table, which was nice because it probably wouldn't have been as enjoyable if another couple was sitting with us. We were able to enjoy each others company as well as enjoy a wonderful meal together. The commentary from the capitan was wonderful and not overdone because there was music in between and it was very romantic to just be on a boat and enjoy the sunset together.
The only thing I was not expecting was that you have to get up and get your own food (in a buffet style) but it wasn't that big of a deal seeing as it was done in a very orderly fashion and handled quite well. One suggestion I would have would be to have a photographer aboard to take pictures and offer them as gifts, to purchase of course, at the end of the night. I know we're allowed to bring our cameras and everything like that, but I just thought it would have been a neat addition to have that option, and then if we wanted to purchase them you could do it online and have a website for it.
Other than that, everything was perfect! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great date idea or a group date situation! I wouldn't really recommend this as an event to bring small children to. Seeing as the atmosphere was calm and romantic, to have a baby or kids screaming or running around would have kind of ruined it for me. I would recommend the day cruise for kids. This trip was about two and a half hours so it may be too long for little ones. I highly highly highly recommend this to anyone looking for a GREAT time! |
