I've recommended the dinner cruise to many friends

| The scenery was stunningly beautiful. Who knew that this glorious combination of deep blue water and sheer cliffs even existed in Arizona? I've lived her over five years, and had no idea.
Tickets to the dinner cruise on Canyon Lake were a surprise birthday gift to my date. We had both heard of the Dolly Steamboat from friends. My date had previously been to the lake for hiking, but the cruise revealed the true beauty of the place.
All the information that I provided about the evening's activities were a simple wardrobe tip, what time to be ready to leave, and that we would be having dinner. So the lake cruise was truly an unexpected welcome event.
We found it to be peaceful and calming, very romantic, and a nice change from the work-a-day world.
Immediately, a plan was made to come back next year, but this time to attend the Astronomy Cruise with Dr. Skye.
The only criticism is that, in my opinion, the catering could try a little harder. The food provided was good, but seemed a bit mundane. Perhaps one more vegetable dish with a fresh ingredients would be a good addition.

| The weather was very hot/humid! It's Arizona!
The food was was extremely edible and very tasty!
The ride was very pleasant and the staff were in full humor and very friendly.
The canyon cliffs were painted with a gorgeous sunset
The big horn sheep were in great form on the top of the cliffs.
Dr. Sky presented excellent information regarding the night sky.

| After living in Arizona for almost 14 years, my husband and I have not seen much of the state. The Dolly cruise was our first visit to Canyon Lake and we were so impressed with the area! The cruise was very nice, good food, and very friendly crew. This is "A MUST" if you are entertaining company from out of State. I only wish I had known about it years ago - we recently had visitors from Augusta, Georgia and we definitely would have taken them on this cruise. It's great. |

| The cruise was beautiful and relaxing. I was very disappointed with the service and the dinner. We were on the upper deck and we saw an attendant three times (when our table was released for dinner, when our dishes were picked up and when our dessert was delivered). The dinner was overcooked chicken and filet mignon. Both very dry. The salad, vegetable (corn) and dinner roll was good, but nothing special. The dessert (apple pie) was small and served very late in the evening. The oil lamps on the table were not lit and the light strings on the upper deck were not on.
The Captain was very nice and provided some interesting information, but I think the attendants could have enhanced the evening by being more attentive to the guests.

| We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We celebrated an 81st birthday and both parents had a great time. The food was very good, the service was excellent and the scenery was incredible. The captain has a great sense of humor and adds just enough to make it enjoyable, not too much to be overbearing! The music is a great touch and goes across any age group. This is probably our 3rd trip but we had not been in several years and it's been consistent on every trip. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. |

| The meal was excellent! The crew was very friendly and courteous! It was a very warm day though and perhaps the ship should install some fans to provide some breeze when there is none natural....... |
