| My husband and I decided to do the dinner the cruise after hearing great things about it. We enjoyed the 2.5 hour cruise - we wished it would have lasted longer. We both would recommend this to our friends and family. Also, we feel that this is better for adults and not children. |

| Would like to salute Captain Tom, Nicole and the other assiatant (Upper Level)
as well as the cooking staff for a wonderful evening cruise on the lake.
The serenity and views were very relaxing and even more so with dinner.
Our group of ten was seated in front of the boat taking in all the views and narrations by Captain Tom.
I personally want to thank Nicole for the seating arrangement with my group as I feel she had gone the extra mile for me to impress my friends. In fact, I heard from my friends afterwards that they intend on bringing their family members when they visit onto the Dolly Cruise.
One couple said, we have cruised the Dolly before, but never on a dinner cruise and this trip was fantastic with our friends being together. Just want to mention that while cruising, conversation among our group was at almost a standstill as we listen to the narration and enjoyed the beautiful views. The time went too fast for us. |

| My 86 year old mother who was born in a mining office in Arizona had never been to Canyon lake or the Dolly, so we thought it would be a fun adventure. And from making reservations to the wonderful, happy, and helpful crew, and the great food, the music selections, and the informative and humorous captain Tom, we had a super time. My mom was in a wheelchair and the only problem I found was going back up the long ramp to the parking lot was a bit of a up hill climb but very doable. And I had lots of offers to help. We would like to go again but when its cooler. June is a hot month. When your on the open lake their is a good breeze but in the canyon not so much. Getting through the very tight curvy road in and out is a white knuckle experience, but it is worth it. Just go slow.
Thanks to everyone! We will definately be back. |

| We were expecting a nice evening with some great views of a part of the lake that is seldom seen when driving by. We got a lot more than we expected. It far exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. The meal was excellent and the views were awe-inspiring. My girlfriend thought it was the most unique and romantic date that she has ever been on. Our thanks to the wonderful crew for an incredible evening. |

| I planned this trip a couple months in advance for my husband's birthday; however, he was so sick that day and the trip wasn't as fun as anticipated. If I would have had a healthy partner I am sure I would have enjoyed myself more. The buffet dinner was really good, service was friendly, and the view was amazing, and the bathrooms were clean. We sat on the top deck with no covering - which was hard at the beginning of the cruise with the sun, but within 20 minutes we were facing the other way and had the open air and stars to gaze at. I would highly recommend this cruise as something "different" to do. |

| My husband and I took the twilight dinner cruise for our anniversary, and we were VERY, VERY pleased.
Okay, so it's not exactly 5 star cuisine, so if that's what you're after, keep looking. BUT, the scenery, the service and staff and the trip as a whole were absolutely fabulous! The meal is MORE than enough food, though, as I said, you won't exactly be asking for recipes.
But for the price, you can't beat this trip. Two and a half hours on the lake, through the canyons, enjoying the solitude and beauty of it all as the sun went down---for about $50 per person, with dinner incuded. You can't beat a bargain like that and the experience was wonderful.
The staff are fun-loving and make you feel right at home on the boat. The boat itself is clean and comfortable---and just about the perfect size for this type of journey.
We'll do it again, but this time, we're bringing the kids, too! |

| This was a wonderful thing to do with out of town family.
The food was adequate. The group in charge of the boat were very organized
and informative and the Captain made the event quite entertaining.
We saw big horn sheep and many beautiful birds.
It would be so much more enjoyable without the wait in line for the boarding passes.
Given you must prepay, it would be more pleasant to print a boarding pass at home
and not have the frantic begining to such a lovely evening.
We were disappointed that we did not get seated where we requested.
Still, a wonderful event. |
