| We had a beautiful night and enjoyed the food and surroundings. The staff was very attentive and the food was good - Filet was a little too rare for me tho! The music was perfect and the pace of the trip was just right. I would highly recommend the trip to friends and family. |

| We had a great time on this cruise. The captian told us a lot about the lakes history.
The food was very good, there was a enough that you didn't go away still hungry.
The cruise is non smoking but that didn't bother me even though i am a smoker. you were kept entertained by the captian and the music that is played.
I would take this cruise again. |

| My wife and I took the dinner cruise to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary. It was a very relaxing evening on board, with a great trip up Canyon Lake with its beautiful scenery. The food was good, the music was nice, and the crew was friendly and competent. A fun way to spend an evening! |

| My husband & I along with my sister & brother in law took the Astronomy Cruise.
The food was very good, the staff was friendly and accomodating. It was a cloudy
nite so we were limited on star gazing, however, the skies opened a little towards
the end of the cruise and Dr Sky was very informative. We all really enjoyed our
evening and would definitely do this again. |

| This is such a fun, restful and relaxing activity. Well, I guess you can't really call it an activity because you sit and eat dinner while the boat does all the work. The food was scrumptous. Ribeye AND chicken, salad, baked potatoe, corn, roll, apple pie and beverage. The serve staff brought beverages around as they dismissed us to go to the buffett. We ate while the canyon walls reflected the change in the sun's position. We watched for wild animals and native birds. The captain kept us apprised of local lore while pointing out features of the lake and canyons. As the sun dropped lower into the horizon, so did our innate stress levels. We found ourselves reveling in the beauty of Canyon Lake at night. |

| My girlfriend of 10 months gave me huge brownie points on romance for taking her out on the Dolly Steamboat. The setting was really nice. We left as the sun was setting so that we could still see some animals out and about. There were also some notable rock formations to look at.
The food was good as well and the portions are nicely sized, it's doubtful you'll still be hungry after eating. The green beans were especially good as was the steak. As the boat turned around and it got darker, you could see more stars in the sky. We just kicked back and looked up at the sky. Outside seating is highly recommended by me, that way you get an unobstructed view of the beautiful canyon.
It was a really great experience, granted it is a little pricey, but how often are you going to do something like this? Something that was even better about the cruise was that the captain thought we were on our "anniversary" for some reason. He announced Happy Anniversary to us as he said my last name.
He really messed up my last name, lol, (it's an Asian last name, so not too unexpected). I didn't even know he was talking about us at first until he nodded his head towards our table. Then as we got off the boat, he apologized for the bad pronunciation of my last name. Hilarious. So now it's a running joke between me and my girlfriend.
An overall wonderful experience. Even the drive there and back was really nice. |

| My parents enjoyed having their 80th birthday celebrated on the Dolly. The whole family really enjoyed themselves. Captain Tom was great, had excellent information to share on AZ, the lake, and wildlife. The food was good. I would have said great, but it was inconsistent. My steak was perfectly cooked. My wife's was cooked to long and was consequently dry. Overall a great experience. |

| My husband and I treated our good friends, a couple living here in AZ, one of whom was celebrating a birthday, to the dinner cruise. We had a most enjoyable experience. Our friend said it was the best birthday gift he'd ever gotten. The trip down Canyon Lake was so scenic and points of interest were well narrated by the Captain. The dinner was VERY good; the fillet especially tender. The crew was very professional and pleasant, willing to help anyone who might have needed any assistance with anything! Over all, we had a most enjoyable, relaxing time and will recommend this to any friends who haven't yet had this experience! |
