| We found this cruise very enjoyable. If you have ever been on the Verde Valley Railroad you will find this experience similar. The scenery and wildlife is much better on the cruise though. The meal was good, but if you request upper deck uncovered (as we did) just note that you will eat last. Overall we had a really nice time. As a bonus the drive up to Canyon Lake is very beautiful so if you have time drive out early and enjoy the sights. |

| Very nice. Food was very good and better than I expected. I really enjoyed being inside on the upper deck. The ability to close the windows when the breeze was too much or too cool was very nice. We went in March and would recommend you bring a jacket as it can get cool on the water. Overall a very good experience and I would recommend it to others. |

| An exceptionally relaxing dinner cruise on a beautifully maintained vessel. The spectacular views of the lake were absolutely the highlight of the evening. Every one in our group of eleven said this cruise exceeded their expectations. The entire crew and staff made everyone feel like we were family. I was amazed that the excellent dinner was freshly prepared on board. A great value for your money blanketed under a canopy of stars as the sun sets on a perfect evening. |

| 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!

| The boat left the dock as stated at 5:30. The view of the mountains around us was spectacular! Our food was cooked on a grill on the rear of the boat so everything was freshly cooked and very good. I thought we would receive a choice between the ribeye steak and grilled chicken, but we got both!!! Salad, baked potato, corn, and a dinner roll. About 20 mins before docking, we were served apple pie! |

| Wonderful evening with friends. Good meal, professional crew, informative tour of the lake. All in all it was much more pleasant than anticipated. A great evening activity for all and especially for out of town guests. |

| The whole experience was delightful! From checking in to the end, everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was great and plentiful. The narration was interesting in learning about the lake. We sat on the top just outside the covered area. Take a warm jacket! The temp is always cooler on the water and especially at night. We had requested to be under the cover but they weren't able to accommodate that. We had perfect weather for late March, and were absolutely thrilled with the experience. We cruised part of the time in the darkness of night. We loved it. The stars were shining bright, and we could see running lights of other boaters and lanterns of campers. We saw some Turkey vultures, a Red-tail hawk and a Bald eagle flew past as we were departing the dock. Cool! A few bats flew overhead for a couple of minutes at about dusk. Fun! We'll take a daytime cruise next year to see more of the lake. Go! You'll love it! |
