| The is the second time, in as many years, that my wife and I took my parents on the Dolly for their anniversary. This year was their 59th.
As usual, the meal was terrific. I do not have any suggestions on how to improve the meal.
The boat and catering staff were great. Our boat captain, Jeff, was a hoot as was the captain in training (I think his name was Robert?). All keep the cruise light and airy.
As a bonus this year, we saw a large herd of Desert Bighorn Sheep.
The weather was cool as the wind was blowing, but we had requested indoor-lower- level seating which was honored - the same as last year. My Mom has a nerve condition in her face which prevents her from being out in the wind for an extended period of time, so we appreciate honoring this request.
In summary, this trip is well worth the money and we will be back again as it is something my parents would never do for themselves. Both years, the trip ran on their anniversary date (March 22), so that made it extra special.
Thanks again for a great trip!

| An exceptionally relaxing dinner cruise on a beautifully maintained vessel. The spectacular views of the lake were absolutely the highlight of the evening. Every one in our group of eleven said this cruise exceeded their expectations. The entire crew and staff made everyone feel like we were family. I was amazed that the excellent dinner was freshly prepared on board. A great value for your money blanketed under a canopy of stars as the sun sets on a perfect evening. |

| Very nice. Food was very good and better than I expected. I really enjoyed being inside on the upper deck. The ability to close the windows when the breeze was too much or too cool was very nice. We went in March and would recommend you bring a jacket as it can get cool on the water. Overall a very good experience and I would recommend it to others. |

Well worth the trip

| 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. |

| This cruise was extremely enjoyable and very relaxing. The crew were friendly and the Captain was extremely knowledgeable in providing a historical perspective of the canyon. The scenic beauty reminds one of a miniature Grand Canyon. The Captain alerted us when Big Horn sheep were viewable as well as water fowl and a Bald Eagle which added splendor to an already memorable experience. The food was tasty and well organized given that it was a buffet style dinner. The Captain allowed my son to steer the boat back towards shore which further added to the enjoyment of my family and friends. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone who enjoys natural beauty and an escape to relax and enjoy the beauty as it unfolds before your eyes! |

| I would have been better if the cruise had started a little earlier in the evening so it wasn't so dark half way through the cruise. You could not see anything and I wanted to see the scenery. |

| My family's experience on the "Twilight Tour" was absolutely amazing! It was relaxing and the food was fantastic. We will highly recommend that to anyone looking for fun and adventure! |
