| The Cruise was wonderful. The high for the day was 110 degrees but it was very cool on the lake in the steamboat. The views were fantastic. We actually saw some mountain goats and got some beautiful photos that I cannot wait to share. |

| What a nice day out. Everything was hasslefree. The staff was so nice and the captain did an outstanding job narrating with a great sense of humor. What a beautiful ride through the lake. We saw 5+ Rams on the mountian side. They have a nice little restaurant to get a bite to eat before boarding or after. We really enjoyed this day out. Don't forget your camera. |

| Even on a hot day in July it was a great trip. The three person crew were very cordial and Captain Jeff gave a splendid narration on board. The Dolly was spotless and the music was perfect with beautiful scenery of Canyon Lake. I would recommend this cruise to everyone. |

| We celebrated my grandma's 82nd birthday on the Dolly and had a wonderful time. We had a large group and enjoyed lunch afterwards at the restaurant at the marina. The captain had a great sense of humor and told us all about the canyons - the history, the images, the geology. We had a wonderful afternoon in July on Canyon Lake! |

| The set up of the boat is very nice with tables both on the upper and lower decks. The price of $19 was a little pricey for the summer; however, it could have been offset with complimentary ice water and lemonaids. I would have liked more narration.
I took some b e a u t eeeee ful photos! Your out of town guests will be impressed. |

| We celebrated our mother's 82 birthday! She loved it and so did the other 9 of us! Captain Jeff was very informative and we had a lot of fun! We will definitely recommend you to all of our friends (and already have). |

| It is an extremely informative and breath taking ride through canyon lake. It would be nice if the ferry had the option of going a little further during the day times. |

| My husband and I treated six out-of-town family members to the Dolly Steamboat cruise. We were all very excited until we reached the ticket booth. We had pre-purchased our tickets using a coupon that discounted the price. We were made aware that we needed the coupon even though we had proof of our payment. I explained that I had not realized that and that it would take us at least an hour to return home to get them. The girl in the booth insisted that we provide the coupon or she would not allow us on the boat. We pleaded with her for a good 20 minutes and even pulled up the coupon on a laptop to show her what we had used. She would not budge and indicated that we would just have to lose the $137.20 that we had paid for the tickets. Finally, she called someone and said, "there are people here giving me a hard time..." Whoever was on the phone told her to go ahead and let us board the boat. The entire experience was ridiculous and very embarrassing as it was witnessed by all of the people waiting for the cruise. Being in the service business, I know that exceptions have to be made in order to please a customer. This girl has no idea what it takes to provide quality service and may have lost future business for Dolly Steamboat. I am not sure that I will subject myself or any future guests to such humiliation. With that said, I will say that the cruise, itself, was very enjoyable and the captain was charming! |
