| My daughter and I both enjoyed the cruise and the dinner was much better than we anticipated. Filet mignon and grilled chicken, baked potato (generously garnished), steamed vegetable, dinner roll, salad, and apple pie for dessert.
The captain, steamboat crew, and catering staff were all very pleasant and eager to see to it that everyone enjoyed the evening.
The captain provided narration during portions of the cruise which was both interesting and informative but never to the point of distraction. The music was a variety of well chosen selections - some light hearted, some heartwarming, some inspirational, and all of it appropriate.
The canyon proved to be a cool respite from the day's heat and relatively little other boat traffic on the lake; which was quite a surprise because it was a long holiday weekend (4th of July) when we attended.
I wish they would put a new horn on the boat. Instead of having that definite "steamboat hooot-toot" it sounded more like my father's Buick. |

| I took my 86 year old mother and her friend up from Tucson for the dinner cruise. Of course, the scenery was fabulous...can't change that!! The cruise itself was very enjoyable. We did the astronomy cruise due to date of our trip, not by choice, but it was certainly interesting and educational for all of us.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially to my mother and her friend. They (and I) appreciated the extra assistance they were given.
The food was good overall, except the chicken was overcooked. I think it was last time, as well. That may be due to bacteria concerns, but it was so dry it was difficult to cut, which seems a little overkill! My steak was great, not overcooked. It's a really good meal, especially considering you are out on a boat. Good job!
I would recommend..and have...the dinner cruise to anyone. It's a beautiful setting and the crew are so nice and helpful. It's something that can be done more than once and there's always something new to enjoy.
Even my mother's friend...who is a bit difficult to please, shall we please...did enjoy herself. Thank you. |

| My 86 year old mother who was born in a mining office in Arizona had never been to Canyon lake or the Dolly, so we thought it would be a fun adventure. And from making reservations to the wonderful, happy, and helpful crew, and the great food, the music selections, and the informative and humorous captain Tom, we had a super time. My mom was in a wheelchair and the only problem I found was going back up the long ramp to the parking lot was a bit of a up hill climb but very doable. And I had lots of offers to help. We would like to go again but when its cooler. June is a hot month. When your on the open lake their is a good breeze but in the canyon not so much. Getting through the very tight curvy road in and out is a white knuckle experience, but it is worth it. Just go slow.
Thanks to everyone! We will definately be back. |

| The dinner and the view was very nice.
We were all disappointed because Jan told us that we had the upper level out from under the cover and we were all sat down stairs....
I believe if we all new this we would have rescheduled another time... |

| The scenery, food, and atmosphere make this an extremely pleasant activity. My only recommendation would be to put some timelines on your map, as people from outside the area may not realize how far (in time) the location is from Phoenix and how much time it takes to drive the twisting, two-lane road. |

| I took my husband on this cruise for his 70th birthday. We both enjoyed it and the best part was the electrical storm towards the end of the cruise. Better than the 4th of July. |

| My husband & I along with my sister & brother in law took the Astronomy Cruise.
The food was very good, the staff was friendly and accomodating. It was a cloudy
nite so we were limited on star gazing, however, the skies opened a little towards
the end of the cruise and Dr Sky was very informative. We all really enjoyed our
evening and would definitely do this again. |
