| My husband surprised me with the twight light cruise for my birthday. The weather was wonderful as we were sat at our reserved table on the boat. The staff were very friendly. The cruise provided views of Arizona's natural beauty. The boats captian pointed out many rock formations and points of interest without to many interuptions. Music played throughout the cruise and there were many photo ops. The food was good, but the relaxation and the opportunity to see the beauty that surrounded us was wonderful. Even as the sun set and we sailed back in the dark, there was a wonderful reflection on the water as we relaxed in a romantic setting.
Thank you for such a wonderful birthday!

| We took the twilight dinner cruise as a special celebration. From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcomed. The scenery, the staff, and the food was exemplary. I plan to return for the Christmas Caroling cruise in December! Don't pass up a chance to ride the steamboat. There is even inside seating for those that shy away from the cool AZ evenings. |

| Awesome. This was an event I planned to spend quality time with my six year old grandson and a couple of friends from work. My grandson was so excited as he had never been on any type of boat before and really enjoyed the Dolly Steamboat. He commented on how beautiful it was on the lake and was taking pictures of the cliffs and people boating, swimming and skiing. At the end of the cruise he stated that this was the best part of his day and wants to do it again with his Mom and Dad. My friends and I had been on the cruise a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. It is so relaxing and calming. A great way to de-stress. Would highly recommend to anyone who visits the Phoenix area. |

| I have previously enjoyed the dinner cruise and thought it would be perfect for our out of town company to enjoy. Even though I booked well in advance hoping for the upper deck of the boat, we were greatly disappointed to find out there was a wedding reception on board. The party had secured most of the upper deck which left us all down below and many other passengers besides ourselves were not happy. They also caused us to leave 15 minutes late. I would suggest that you call the Dolly office and confirm there is not a wedding party or large group on board. The food was good and the staff friendly, but unfortunately overall we were all disappointed. |

| This was one of the most fun things me and my boyfriend have done together! The food was EXCELLENT and the scenery was amazing. We were sat at our own table, which was nice because it probably wouldn't have been as enjoyable if another couple was sitting with us. We were able to enjoy each others company as well as enjoy a wonderful meal together. The commentary from the capitan was wonderful and not overdone because there was music in between and it was very romantic to just be on a boat and enjoy the sunset together.
The only thing I was not expecting was that you have to get up and get your own food (in a buffet style) but it wasn't that big of a deal seeing as it was done in a very orderly fashion and handled quite well. One suggestion I would have would be to have a photographer aboard to take pictures and offer them as gifts, to purchase of course, at the end of the night. I know we're allowed to bring our cameras and everything like that, but I just thought it would have been a neat addition to have that option, and then if we wanted to purchase them you could do it online and have a website for it.
Other than that, everything was perfect! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great date idea or a group date situation! I wouldn't really recommend this as an event to bring small children to. Seeing as the atmosphere was calm and romantic, to have a baby or kids screaming or running around would have kind of ruined it for me. I would recommend the day cruise for kids. This trip was about two and a half hours so it may be too long for little ones. I highly highly highly recommend this to anyone looking for a GREAT time! |

| 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. |

| I've been on this cruise three times now. First on business; then I went back with my family, and most lately with my in-laws. Everyone I've been with on this cruise has agreed with me that it's wonderful. The people are very nice; Food is good; provides a little respite from the intense Phoenix heat; Can't beat the scenery. |

Highly recommend to locals and visitors

| This is a view of Arizona that everyone should see. You can't beat the scenery, and the food is good too. Good food and over-the-top scenery makes this a great value and a must-do. We are new residents of Arizona. We plan to be return customers for this cruise when our out-of-town family comes to visit. |
