| We very much enjoyed the trip on the paddle boat.. The scenery was spectacular and the accomadations were very comfortable. The guide gave us an excellent coverage of the sites and the personnel were very helpful and courteous.. The meal was very good but we would have enjoyed having wine with dinner. I would recommend this experience to other friends.. Thanks Shirley Keaster |

| Dinner cruise is significantly overpriced based on quality of food. Might be great for a tourist, but not locals.
We have done the day cruise with out of town guests many times. Feel it is a good value and will continue to use the day cruise program. |

Pleasant cruise

| We took my son and my daughter and her husband, on the dinner cruise last Saturday eve. My daughter lives in northern California and was totally enthralled with the experience. She never realized we had such a beautiful lake so close to Phoenix. The service and the food was wonderful. The captain's narration of the lake and canyon was very well done and very interesting. The ONLY small complaint I could make is I wished the cruise started at 5:00PM instead of 6:00PM because the last 45 minutes or so was in the dark and you couldnt see any of the features of the canyon. All in all, a very enjoyable time was had by all! We highly reccomend it! |

| Initially shopping for a "weekend getaway" to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thought of going up to Lake Powell, but that is now closed for the season. Sought assist from our AAA Office. Surprisingly, they had nothing to offer or suggest??
Searched (Online) next and discovered Website for the Twilight Dinner Cruise at Canyon Lake. Extremely pleased with our choice to celebrate our anniversary this way for the evening. Even though we did not find "a weekend getaway."
Certainly it gets darker early at this time of year. Enjoying the sights is limited, even though the Captain narrates. Then again, it's a (Twilight dinner Cruise) not their Nature or Rainbow Cruise during the day.
The Captain, crew & staff made us feel as great guests. Tableclothes & napkins with candle at the table. A special, well-planned & prepared dinner. Other services too.
I told staff to have a Representative make contact with AAA out here..... I do not understand why they have nothing to pull up or recommend such as this in their data base. Unless the AAA agent was lazy and didn't help us with a search?
Dolly Steamboat also offers a AAA Member ticket discount, which was $3.00 each.
I called their office to get the code to enter for the Online purchase. This trip for us from Surprise, was two hours. Guess, I've said plenty. Thanks again. |

| During my family's visit the first week of November, we traveled around most of northern Arizona. Since they live near water back east, I thought the Dolly Steamboat would be the perfect end to their trip to our beautiful state. And, it was. They thoroughly enjoyed the serenity and beauty of Canyon Lake. We took the dinner cruise and the food, service and narration of the scenery around us were awesome. I highly recommend this cruise. |

| My 65th birthday was special so friends decided we should take a cruise. This was a wonderful evening, as the weather was perfect. Captain Jeff was so personable & knowledgeable & made each passenger feel special. As my husband has limited mobility, the customer reps on board were extremely helpful. The meal was very tasty and plentiful. There was a soft breeze as we cruised through the canyons & we even spotted 5 or 6 big horn sheep along with several deer. Seeing the sun setting through the canyon walls was a bonus. Perhaps next time we'll take the astronomy cruise, which also has the great dinner along with an educated astronomer informing passengers of the spectacular sights in the heavens. I would not hesitate this excursion for anyone. |

| Food exceeded expectation.
Have previously been on a Dolly cruise, but never the twilight cruise. Everything looked totally different in the evening. Sights outstanding.
Looking forward to taking the astronomy cruise. |
