| I scheduled the dinner cruise as a surprise birthday gift for my husband. He loves the lake and was in awe when he realized what I had planned. It was perfect for us, not too many guests on board (Friday) so we had plenty room to move about. It was romantic and fulfilled the purpose I intended. The captain and workers were very customer service oriented and that is something I use to gauge anything I do.
The departure of the boat was on time (or a little early to me) however, I arrived at exactly 5:30pm (last minute my child ran a fever and that chaged my plans) and the boat had already departed. The best thing was, they were looking out for us and came back to the dock to get us........everyone on the boat and at the restaurant clapped as we borded the boat. My husband spent the nigt fighting back tears because this was the best birthday he has had (or that I have ever planned). :-)
We already have friends that want to go!!!!
Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!!
Ps. Pie was our desert, and I don't eat pie.....so a little cake next time for me would be great!!! |

| The whole experience was stellar. The scenery was some of the most gorgeous in the southwest. The boat was beautiful, the crew friendly and fun. The food was surprisingly the best I've ever eaten for catered food. I can't recommend this enough!!! Great for large groups or intimate dates. |

Great scenery

| The scenery made the cruise worthwhile. It was disappointing that the crew was late in checking us in. One actually asked us "What time does the cruise start?" Even though the captain said it was due to a new ticketing system and they're working the bugs out...that was not true. One of the servers told me that they were told the wrong time - 5:30 instead of 5:00. Disappointing when we were told to be there half hour early. The food was very average.

| A female friend and I went on the Saturday evening cruise. We did not purchase dinner tickets so were required to sit on the lower level (inside) of the boat. That would have been ok except that there was a very loud family down there with us.
The diner looked all right but not worth the price except for the fact that with the dinner you get the prime seating, either on the top deck or outside on the bow.
You can bring your own wine or beer if you purchase dinner. I am not sure whether you can do this if you do not purchase dinner. There is a snack bar with a few items like candy bars.
The Captain's narrative left much to be desired. However, the view and atmosphere was fantastic! The Captain and crew were very friendly and tried to acccomodate us after dinner by allowing us to sit in chairs outside on the bow away from the noisy family.

| My primary reason for wanting to take this cruise was the excitement of seeing animals in the wild that would otherwise not be seen as was advertised. While I understand that is not something that can be guaranteed, I was hoping to see at least one animal of any sort, however, we saw absolutely none.
I also thought it was a bit overpriced. |

| We had prime rib. The server was not clear as to what was "allowed" in the serving line. She gave you no time to consider your options. My wife doesn't eat prime rib so the server gave her two chicken breasts.
I asked the server why I couldn't have her prime rib and I would give my wife my chicken breast which would give my wife two pieces and the server wouldn't allow it.
Why not I asked and she shooshed me off to the next server (a man)
I feel I was taken.
62.50 per person is a lot of money, and I felt as though the server wasn't allowing us to figure out how we could best get our money's worth.
Other than feeling I got taken by not allowing me to have the prime rib I paid for, It was a nice cruise |

| We entered the boat and gaot a very good seat section, just in front. The trip was really great, and everybody enjoyed it: The lake, the sightseeing, the service, the dinner - and last but not least the narrations of "El Capitan"

| The captain welcomed us on board with comedy and enthusiasim. he was very entertaining and a wealth of knowledge about the area. The two crew members were very attentive and helpful.
The catered food for the evening cruise was delicious!!!
I would absolutely recommend this cruise to anyone. |
