| Three family members told this reservation site that we had children under 5. The reservationist kept telling everyone they were free and would not list them. When we got to the boat they couldn't guarantee space or meals for them because they didn't know about them. The food on the boat was fabulous and they were accomodating, but I'm still mad at the reservation people.
There was only 1 working bathroom on the boat so my 3 year old learned to dance in place and hold it in line.
All children are required to wear a life vest during the entire cruise. The vest are big, bulky and very hot. |

| The cruise was very enjoyable and the help was very nice. The only thing I can say is that I was not impressed with Captain Tom. He had a negative attitude and I noticed he was short with some of the people. He should keep his negative remarks to himself and not share with the customers. I think if he doesn't like his job then he should get another. |

| My husband took me on the Dolly Steamboat as a surprise. Unfortuniately, it was a very hot day. He had scheduled it for a Friday, but we were switched to Saturday in order to fill the boat. Consequently we ended up inside instead of outside on the upper deck.
The captain gave some very interesting info regarding the lake and its development, but a group celebrating a birthday behind us were so loud, we could only hear bits and pieces. In fact, there were several groups who were obnoxiously loud and did not care to listen to either the captain or to Dr. Sky later in the evening. We would have really enjoyed the program presented had we been able to hear. I really don't know why these people bothered to take this trip as they did not enjoy the scenery or program provided.
I would hesitate to spend the money to do this trip again for fear of the same results evenn though I think it could be fun and interesting. I normally do not complain when people are having a good time, but think they should have sitted off by themselves or asked to be a little more quiet for the benefit of others. |

| Food was very good; beautiful surrounding; helpful and accomodating staff; presentation re astronomy related views, etc. was outstanding....only concern would be the very warm summer temps make it a bit uncomfortable until after the sun begins to set....I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone....best trip next to viewing the Grand Canyon... |

| The dinner cruise was wonderful and far excided my expectations. The sights were amazing; the captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The staff was very friendly. My only disappointment was the food. It was all way over cooked. The filet mignon was overcooked that I couldn’t eat it. The chicken was the same. I was disappointed because I was left hungry but the cruise was really worth it. I have been telling all of my friends. Thank you. |
