| The food was very good, the crew friendly and helpful. As you leisurely cruise back through the canyon the Captain provides you with some interesting facts about the lake and the wildlife in the area. It was a relaxing and entertaining way to spend an evening. We will definitely do it again. |

| The scenery was stunningly beautiful. Who knew that this glorious combination of deep blue water and sheer cliffs even existed in Arizona? I've lived her over five years, and had no idea.
Tickets to the dinner cruise on Canyon Lake were a surprise birthday gift to my date. We had both heard of the Dolly Steamboat from friends. My date had previously been to the lake for hiking, but the cruise revealed the true beauty of the place.
All the information that I provided about the evening's activities were a simple wardrobe tip, what time to be ready to leave, and that we would be having dinner. So the lake cruise was truly an unexpected welcome event.
We found it to be peaceful and calming, very romantic, and a nice change from the work-a-day world.
Immediately, a plan was made to come back next year, but this time to attend the Astronomy Cruise with Dr. Skye.
The only criticism is that, in my opinion, the catering could try a little harder. The food provided was good, but seemed a bit mundane. Perhaps one more vegetable dish with a fresh ingredients would be a good addition.

| My husband took me on the Dolly Steamboat as a surprise. Unfortuniately, it was a very hot day. He had scheduled it for a Friday, but we were switched to Saturday in order to fill the boat. Consequently we ended up inside instead of outside on the upper deck.
The captain gave some very interesting info regarding the lake and its development, but a group celebrating a birthday behind us were so loud, we could only hear bits and pieces. In fact, there were several groups who were obnoxiously loud and did not care to listen to either the captain or to Dr. Sky later in the evening. We would have really enjoyed the program presented had we been able to hear. I really don't know why these people bothered to take this trip as they did not enjoy the scenery or program provided.
I would hesitate to spend the money to do this trip again for fear of the same results evenn though I think it could be fun and interesting. I normally do not complain when people are having a good time, but think they should have sitted off by themselves or asked to be a little more quiet for the benefit of others. |

| A very enchanted cruse and dinner. I am a romantic at heart and so is my wife. The view of the lake at night takes on a whole new dimension. Not to exclude the dinner, It was Outstanding!!! I would highly recommend this dinner cruse to anyone who loves this type of activity. Thank you for a wonderful evening!!! |

| I recommend this to anyone interested in a nice relaxing afternoon with a beautiful backdrop of the canyon. It was a little warm starting out (late June), but soon after the journey started, we were surrounded by the canyon walls and the ever welcome shade! Being able to walk around the boat was a bonus, and make sure to bring a camera, as there are lots of opportunities for photos. Also, this would be a great trip for groups of four or six (or maybe more...), as there is plenty of space to move around. I recommend sitting in the upper deck and towards the front, but again, there are a number of great places to sit. I will consider taking this trip again in the future. |

| My wife and I really enjoyed our cruise. It was a bit much for the amount of food--it was just more than we usually eat. We would have liked the opportunity to split the provided food at a slightly reduced cost. |
