| We took our Mom and Dad for there birthdays - The cruise was very well ran.
I am fairly critical of service related industries but these guys did great! The captain was knowledgable and informative, but not annoying. The staff was available but not in your face. The food (Which is what I was there for :-) was great. The Filet Mignon was tasty and tender (I like mine rarer but they need to cook for the majority and at least it wasn't well done - I would say med / med rare), the chicken was moist, the potatoe was perfect as was the warm apple pie. We had an absolute blast and would recomend this dinner cruise to anyone. I highly recommend the top deck / uncovered for seating. When the sun goes down, there is little light adding to the atmoshere and there were several pairs of smoochers aboard. For the atmosphere and the food - It's a 10 ! The ONLY thing I would say needed any work, was someone up front to answer questions a few minutes before the window opens. People are left to figure it for themselves and I saw some older folks get confused.
Thanks for a great time. |

| My boyfriend and I decided to make this our last date before I returned to the U of A and he remained in Phoenix. It was an awesome decision. Very romantic! Nice people, excellent staff, good food and the scenery was breath taking. I also normally get sick on any kinda of boat, but I did not get sick on the dolly. I would highly recommend this to anyone. |

| I had purchased this trip for our 1 year anniversary. My boyfriend was speechless (rare). Usually, he outdoes me with much pride. Not the case this time. He was in awe during the entire cruise. I had requested the upper deck thinking it would be the most romantic spot; Nicole took the liberty of placing us at the bow of boat. Great call Nicole, Thank you so much! It was perfect! Captain Tom is a man with great character. He narrated the tour ever so perfectly. Narrators typically bore me, but not Captain Tom! He was wonderful!
My words can not describe what a wonderful evening we had. You'll have to experience it for yourself. We are very eager to embark on the other cruises offered. See you soon! |

| The is the second time, in as many years, that my wife and I took my parents on the Dolly for their anniversary. This year was their 59th.
As usual, the meal was terrific. I do not have any suggestions on how to improve the meal.
The boat and catering staff were great. Our boat captain, Jeff, was a hoot as was the captain in training (I think his name was Robert?). All keep the cruise light and airy.
As a bonus this year, we saw a large herd of Desert Bighorn Sheep.
The weather was cool as the wind was blowing, but we had requested indoor-lower- level seating which was honored - the same as last year. My Mom has a nerve condition in her face which prevents her from being out in the wind for an extended period of time, so we appreciate honoring this request.
In summary, this trip is well worth the money and we will be back again as it is something my parents would never do for themselves. Both years, the trip ran on their anniversary date (March 22), so that made it extra special.
Thanks again for a great trip!

| I had booked four of us on this dinner cruise. It was my parents 58th wedding anniversary and we wanted to do something special for them.
The weather was perfect - the meal was great.
My parents told me after the cruise that it had been a long time since they had enjoyed themselves as much as they had this night. |

| We were celebrating a friends birthday. Had a great time the only that was not that great was the steak. For the amount we got mine was pretty fatty. |

| 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 scenery was amazing. The prime rib, potato, roll and veggies were excellent but the chicken was a little dry. Soft background music and lighting to make the dinner more romantic. I've noticed everyone likes to reserve the second floor for the dinner cruise but I thought it was more peaceful on the lower deck outside. |
