| My wife and I found the Thursday April 23th dinner cruise while searching the internet for something to do during our one night stay in the Phoenix area following our flight in from the east coast. The cruise turned out to be a lucky choice. It was very relaxing following our flight and the food was much better than we expected. |

| Although the weather did not cooperate fully for the astronomical portion until the very end, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Captain Jeff and his crew were all very personable. Dr. Sky was as informative as he could have been (under the cloud cover for most of the cruise). I was abit disconcerted that the intro portion had not been updated though and referred to past events in August (we attended in September).
The food was OK, although I really think that Dolly Steamboat should entertain the practice of table service. I did not know the food was served buffet style and by the time we were allowed to go and get our food, it was overcooked and lukewarm, although still very tasty. Walking through the boat where other passengers already were eating bothered me.
The grandeur of the Arizona sunset and the scenery in Canyon Lake was absolutely beautiful and made up for all the other little shortfalls. |

| Me and my wife had not been to this area in 18 years. We flew in that same day and we were pressed for time. If you go on this cruise make sure to give yourself plenty of time to take in the sights on the drive to Canyon Lake and even though the road is paved,it has some hairpin turns. When booking this cruise, ask for seats in the back of the boat and on the upper deck. Some of the other passengers came back and stood because of the veiws and the breeze.The food on the dinner cruise was great and serving sizes were fine. I definitely would recommend this cruise for dates and special occasions. |

| We went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise with Captain Tom. We definitely would go again. We like his naration and description of what we were seeing. The filet mignon was just right and the setting could not have been better. While it was dark when we returned, that did not spoil the cruise. |

| The tour was great!! The entire crew and captain were very entertaining and full of great information. Even though the evening was warm the crew was quick to make you comfortable and heat was no longer a factor. The dinner was very tasty and the service was great. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to enjoy a relaxing evening. We hope to return for the Holiday Cruise this winter!! |

| My husband and I went on this cruise as part of our 2nd anniversary and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The scenery was spectacular, the captain was knowledgeable but didn't bombard us with constant talking. The music is perfect for the occasion, from Norah Jones to Frank Sinatra, upbeat and romantic.
The boat leaves exactly on time. The first time we missed the boat by less than 5 minutes and it was gone, we had to reschedule at $20 per person. So DON'T be late. But even paying the extra money it was well worth it!
The drive from Phoenix to Canyon Lake is beautiful and easy. We're planning on returning with family and friends and any other reason we can find. |

| The trip was so out-of-the-ordinary, and felt really special. The narration of the cruise was smart, funny and added to the experience. At the same time, it wasn't intrusive - you could also enjoy the company of your date.
The crew was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.
The getting-there logistics were really easy. |

| My wife and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary with dinner on the Arizona Dolly. It was wonderful, the whole crew was very professional, the food was excellent and I wish I could find the words to describe the beautiful views found around Canyon Lake but it has let me speechless. |
