| Our group enjoyed our ride on the Dolly Steamboat. Canyon Lake is a beautiful destination, and the boat was comfortable. The captain was informative and friendly. Our friends had been before and recommended the trip to us. We saw two big horned sheep during our ride. |

| This was a beautiful trip and a very friendly crew. We had a beautiful day. It was very picturesque. Although the boat was handicapable, the restroom was not for wheelchairs. You can buy light snacks on board. There is a snackbar you can buy food at before or after the cruise. We did not go in there, so I can not say what they had or what kind of prices they had. We chose to go the the Mining Camp Restaurant. You pass the turnoff for it on your way to the Dolly. The food there is wonderful and served family style on aluminum mining plates. Both are wll worth the money. |

| My wife & I took our 11 year old son on the 90 minute Dolly Steamboat Cruise over spring break. The tour was awe inspiring. Even our 11 year old cannot wait to go back. Majestic rock formations tower hundreds of feet above the calm surface of the lake. An occasional Jet Ski or boat will pass by slipping from view as they round the the next rocky outcropping.
Do not forget to take your camera. This is nature at its best. There were Big Horn Sheep on the cliffs, hawks soaring above, bat caves and petrified trees in the rock walls. Every direction you look provides another example of the natural beauty that can only be experienced from this cruise.
This is a cruise where you can absolutely relax and forget about the stressors of everyday life. We highly recommend the Dolly Steamboat cruise. |

| We had our tickets reserved for 3 months prior to our trip. We bypassed the long waiting line to purchase tickets and were still last to board the boat as they were numbered seats. I know that at least 90% of the passengers that day did not have reserved tickets. Once we finally arrived on the boat the only table left was directly in the sun. We had a 3 year old traveling and were unable to keep her in the sun (108 to 112 degrees that day.) We settled ourselves in a shaded area at the back of the boat and were asked to move as all guests were to be seated. We did leave and headed upstairs. My finace went downstairs to purchase water several minutes later and when he did he noticed that the hostess had conveniently moved an entire group to the area we had just been kicked out of, and to make things even better for them provided that party with a table after we had been asked to leave and told we had no choice but to sit upstairs and endure the hot sun. We asked to be left off the boat, but were advised it had just departed and were unable to abort.
We will never purchase tickets from Zerve or board the Dolly Madison again. A complete waste of our money. |

| Enjoyed everything about the cruise. Our captain did a great job. I didn't realize there was so much more to see in Arizona until you get into the out of way places whrere the cruise takes you. |

| We had an out-of-state guest and wanted to introduce her to some of the local flora and fauna in our state -- she was very impressed with the cruise, as we were, and the information related to us by the captain. |

| The cruise was very relaxing and the scenery was beautiful. The guide, crew and music were great. It would be nice if the snack bar sold some healthy snacks, though. I have recommended the cruise to friends. |
