| Really romantic, magical, and really awsome crew. Capt Jeff was really funny and added to the atmosphere. Actually, all of the crew serviing and boat crew were all warm, friendly, and made me and my friends experience a really memorable one. |

| We enjoyed the cruise. The narration was informative and humorous. Wait staff were attentive but not intrusive. Food was good and chef was very accommodating to my guest who is gluten intolerant. Baked potato was excellent, ribeye steak had very good flavor and chicken was moist and flavorful as well.
Some suggestions for improvement: We would have enjoyed an organic or natural food option (such as field greens without preservatives). Also, the diesel fumes were a bit much at times as the wind shifted. The music was schmaltzy. More Enja-type soft enviro sounds and less pop would be good. |

| The dinner and cruise on the Dolly was a great experience. The crew was friendly and efficient. The views were spectacular and the colors beautiful. The captain gave a talk about the lake, canyon,and plants which we enjoyed. We loved the evening cruise because it also gave views of the stars and moon. The moon reflecting in the currents of the water was beautiful and gave a very relaxing atmosphere. Music was played during the dinner and cruise which also added to the wonderful experience. The dinner was very good. We will be taking more dinner cruises with friends and family! |

| We did the twilight cruise on October 18.
We enjoyed it, but dinner was late & we were the last to be served at almost 7 p.m.
Your captain was fun with his commentary, and the weather was beautiful. |

| Drifting along Canyon Lake was a wonderful, peaceful experience. It got dark way too soon, but enjoyed the scenery while it lasted. Then the stars came out the sky was lit with thousands of lights! The food was excellent - much better than expected. Tablecloths, linens and candle on the table, very nice experience.
My only critique is that this cruise is publicized as a "Mark Twain" experience, so we were expecting some neat stories about the area and were dissapointed that no stories were told. |

| The cruise would have been better if it had started earlier as it got dark about an hour into the cruise. The meat eaters were very pleased with their meals, however, the vegetarian choice left something to be desired. |

Very relaxing and enjoyable.

| The cruise and the dinner were lovely. Our whole group really enjoyed the experience.
May I suggest to start the cruise one hour earlier in the winter hours? We would have liked to had more daylight to the turn around point and then enjoyed the sunset coming back. We did have a full moon, so we could still see pretty well, however. |

| The food was very good, the crew friendly and helpful. As you leisurely cruise back through the canyon the Captain provides you with some interesting facts about the lake and the wildlife in the area. It was a relaxing and entertaining way to spend an evening. We will definitely do it again. |
