A Great Adventure, but...

| From the time we stepped on the Dolly till the moment we departed, we thoroughly enjoyed the Twilight Dinner Cruise for its' ambience, the accommodations, the staff, the food - and above all the spectacular views. Capt. Tom and Janet did a great job. In fact, it was a great adventure, but...
When making your reservations online, you are asked to fill in a comment field that reads, "USE THIS SPACE ONLY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE SELLER. THIS MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ALONG WITH YOUR BOOKING INFORMATION". My message was "This is a special occasion. We are both celebrating our birthdays (May 1 and May 4)
Clearly, the message was either not received, or not found important enough to cause any interest, because the event was not mentioned or recognized in any way. We were two of three individuals celebrating birthdays that evening. The other gentleman was recognized more than once by Captain Tom who in fact, sang "Happy Birthday" to him over the loudspeaker. I wasn't expecting dancing girls and a cash prize, but I did expect to be recognized.
Granted, this may be considered by some to be small potatoes compared to the rest of the evening, but when someone asks for comments, it gives the impression that someone will actually read them.
Perhaps THIS "comment" will be read by the "Seller" and they will be more considerate in the future.
By the way...we were two of only 19 people on the cruise that evening. (May 6) We were a little hard to miss.

| The dinner cruise was a wonderful experience. The ride was nice and Captain Tom gave a good overview of the sites. The only negative was the wind was very cold but I guess you had no control over that! :-)
I would love to do the lunch cruise in hopes to see more wildlife.
Because of the cold wind I thought the dinner cruise could have been only 2 hours. |

| Nice cruise. Support staff was friendly. This evening cruise sported a filling dinner that was fine, served "controlled buffet" style. Beautiful scenery and many pics were taken.
We were expecting more history and background from the Captain or crew ; the Captain's comments, however, were appreciated. Got the feeling the crew was a bit worn out from working so many lake cruises.
Recommend butter replace margarine on the condiments bar. After all patrons are served and seated, recommend that staff circulate with water/tea/coffee rather than requiring people to leave their tables, travel to the beverage containers, and walk back and sit down. |

| I recommend wearing jeans or shorts and doing this soon 'cuz Captain TOM says the lake will be lower 50 feet come Labor Day. |

| Dolly Steamboat was worth every penny. I recommend it for visitors from out of State. Our visitors from Iowa were just amazed, as well as ourselves, at the amazing views and beauty of Canyon Lake. |

| Great scenery, good food, very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone. The only negative was that it could have left about 30 minutes earlier or been that much shorter. We still would have seen the sunset, but it wouldn't have been pitch black when we got off. |

A lot of fun!

| The dinner cruise was enjoyable. Very peaceful out on the lake and very relaxing. Food was certainly not gourmet 5 star but it was an enjoyable meal of good quality and done well given that you have 100 people on a boat. |

| This is a great way to unwind and view the beauty of Canyon Lake. Our guests did not realize how large Canyon lake actually is.
The food was good and the service was excellent. |

| A most enjoyable dinner cruise. The captain's narration was excellent. Just enough, not too much. The music selection was perfect for the occasion. Staff was helpful and pleasant.
All in all, a most enjoyable experience. |
