| Dinner is ok, not that you should expect much on a small boat. But the scenery is very beautiful, with views of wildlife and petrified trees. |

| If I rate this cruise, it is 7 out of 10. It was very nice atmosphere. I believe it could have been better if it does not rain. I liked it a lot because of age group in the ship. The food was too little. It could give us more light in the ship or at least options to light up. I would recommend to go there around mid of october when it gets cooler out side so you might be able to see wild animal which we could not see this time. The scenary was excellent. Thank you |

| An excellently organized dinner cruise for what I consider a very good value. While it got a little chilly due to unexpected weekend temperatures, overall things were super. The food was excellent, particularly the filet mignon was delectable. One of the top 10 things to do in an evening in Arizona, without doubt. Don't miss this! |

| Three family members told this reservation site that we had children under 5. The reservationist kept telling everyone they were free and would not list them. When we got to the boat they couldn't guarantee space or meals for them because they didn't know about them. The food on the boat was fabulous and they were accomodating, but I'm still mad at the reservation people.
There was only 1 working bathroom on the boat so my 3 year old learned to dance in place and hold it in line.
All children are required to wear a life vest during the entire cruise. The vest are big, bulky and very hot. |

| The boat left the dock as stated at 5:30. The view of the mountains around us was spectacular! Our food was cooked on a grill on the rear of the boat so everything was freshly cooked and very good. I thought we would receive a choice between the ribeye steak and grilled chicken, but we got both!!! Salad, baked potato, corn, and a dinner roll. About 20 mins before docking, we were served apple pie! |

| 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!!! |

| We found this cruise very enjoyable. If you have ever been on the Verde Valley Railroad you will find this experience similar. The scenery and wildlife is much better on the cruise though. The meal was good, but if you request upper deck uncovered (as we did) just note that you will eat last. Overall we had a really nice time. As a bonus the drive up to Canyon Lake is very beautiful so if you have time drive out early and enjoy the sights. |

| If you don't have time to do anything else while in the Mesa area, you have got to do the dinner cruise! IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! The food was very good. Captain, Jeff, was great and the "staff" was wonderful. We had a enjoyable time. We were kept well informed of all of the attractions and animals. Next time we are down that way, we intend to do it again. |

| The dinner cruise was great. The crew members were friendly and helpful. We would recommend this as a date for 2 or a family event. |
