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. |

I took my 86 year old mother and her friend up from Tucson for the dinner cruise. Of course, the scenery was fabulous...can't change that!! The cruise itself was very enjoyable. We did the astronomy cruise due to date of our trip, not by choice, but it was certainly interesting and educational for all of us.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially to my mother and her friend. They (and I) appreciated the extra assistance they were given.
The food was good overall, except the chicken was overcooked. I think it was last time, as well. That may be due to bacteria concerns, but it was so dry it was difficult to cut, which seems a little overkill! My steak was great, not overcooked. It's a really good meal, especially considering you are out on a boat. Good job!
I would recommend..and have...the dinner cruise to anyone. It's a beautiful setting and the crew are so nice and helpful. It's something that can be done more than once and there's always something new to enjoy.
Even my mother's friend...who is a bit difficult to please, shall we please...did enjoy herself. Thank you. |

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... |

I enjoyed the Dolly Steamboat Cruise. The food was tasty, the views spectacular and the staff was wonderful. I was there for the astrology cruise and found Dr. Sky to be friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and I would go again.
One thought of caution: not everyone on that cruise was interested in the astrology. I found it hard to hear Dr. Sky as several intoxicated people were allowed to be loud and somewhat unruly. You should keep in mind that alcohol is allowed and passengers are allowed to roam both decks which unfortunately for a few of us interupted our meals. |

We had a table on the upper deck. My daughter, her boyfriend, our 5 month old grandaughter, my husband and I attended. Recommend that if you're taking a small child, you bring your own life jacket. Baby may respond better. My daughter was concerned about her chewing on the corner, due to not knowing how many children had chewed on it before. Meal was wonderful. Filet mignon was cooked to perfection and very tender. Best meal we've had on a dinner cruise. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see some spectacular views and a break from the heat. |

Service was excellent. We saw bighorn sheep and deer. Please go when the moon is full - the moon fflecting off the water and canyon walls was breathtaking. |
