| We enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was very relaxing and informative. The captain
was very pleasant and provided a great narrative on our surroundings and the history.
The food was plentiful, even for our biggest appetite and tasted great. I own my own
business and I am considering coming again as a staff Christmas party. This will
be a repeat trip for our family.
Our only bad experiences were:
We sat on the top, no cover and it was difficult to hear what was spoken on the speaker.
The second thing had nothing to do with the cruise line, it was a rude lady on our
trip. We had someone with us that had Parkinson's and he went first as announced
for the people that need extra time to get situated, the lady behind him told him to get
out her of the way, he was in the way of everyone. That made him sad and unhappy the
rest of our trip and it stayed on his mind the next week.
I do highly recommend this trip to everyone, I don't know if children would do very well on it though. |

| The Dolly Steamboat Twilight Dinner Cruise was an enjoyable and relaxing way to spend an evening with friends. I would highly recommend this cruise if you wish to show your out of town guests some of the best kept secrets of Arizona or if you would like to spend a romantic evening with that special someone. Either way you will be mesmerized by the majestic vistas that surround Canyon Lake. The cuisine isnt half bad either!!

| This was a relaxing and fun experience with beautiful scenery. It was enjoyable to sit with friends and family with only the mountains and water as peaceful distractions.
The food was better than expected based on the previous reviews I've read. The only suggestion would be to change the vegetable (green beans are great but adding chucks of tomatoes was not the best combo. keep it simple and just have the beans or another common veg.) The salad was good, but you need alittle more than just lettuce....maybe use the tomatoes here instead :) ).
The captain was fun and discussed the points of interest...and it wasn't too much chatter, just enough.
Thanks!! |

| 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 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 our fourth trip on the Dolly because we enjoy it so much however , the food has gotten worse each time we have gone. At $65 per person we expect a steak that is more than 1/4 inch thick and tough as shoe leather. It should also be somewhat warm. This was nothing more than cafeteria quality food. If not for the scenery the trip would have been very dissappointing. |

| What a great idea and what a gorgeous trip. What more could anyone ask for? We had one of the most memorable evenings complete with a great dinner and sunset while cruising beautiful Canyon Lake. Our friends had a wonderful time too.
The trip was informative and the narrative was just right and not overly done. The food was excellent and the music was nice too. We got back to Phoenix by 9pm so it was the perfect length of time. One of the best times ever.
Thank you! |
