| Our party of four, two from Minnesota and two local residents, had lunch at Cayon Lake and then took the 90 minute boat cruise. The boat trip was fantastic, especially the tour guides commentary. The views were superb and the accomodations and service was much better than expected. We will take this cruise ever time we visit the Phoenix area. |

| The weather was perfect for touring Canyon Lake. Our group spotted 7 big horn sheep, awesome experience. It was fun to try and identify them since they blended in with the scenery. The crew was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We sat on the upper deck in the back and did not have any problems hearing the captain's comments.
We stood in line for an hour and 45 minutes to get the 1st boading pass in order to assure we sat where we wanted too. I was disappointed that boarding was done by groups of 25 instead of by order of boarding pass number. It was too bad that the reservation window did not open earlier to give out boarding passes to avoid standing in line so long.
Great day overall |

| This is the second trip on the Dolly in two weeks. The quality remains high. The crew is professional and also has a great sense of humor.It is obvious that they take great pride in their work and really enjoy what they are doing.. The narriative is informative and presented in a great format. The PA system is clear and the boat is immaculate. What a great day on the lake. Lunch in the dockside resturant is a bonus. Good food and people; what more could one want.? |

| While the scenery was enjoyable, the ticketing process was cumbersome. First, I was too early, then I was late to pick up tickets which resulted in less than favorable seating, even though I had prepurchased the tickents before traveling to AZ. I would suggest adding staff or making other arrangements to hand out pre-purchased tickets. |

| We enjoyed the afternoon immensely as the weather was much better than the forecast. We saw a lot of blue herons, desert mountain sheep, eagles and other sundry wildlife and plant growth. The surroundings are beautiful and well worth the effort to go across Phoenix to take the cruise. The crew was entertaining and knowledgable. |

Not worth the $2 extra charge

| We got in the same line as those who had made phone reservations directly with the Dolly company. They each paid $20. We paid $22 on line. There was no advantage to having e-tickets. |

This trip was long overdue.

| We've lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 15 years and never had a clue that the trip on the Dolly Steamboat could be so special. Capt. Tom was both entertaining and informative. The scenery was breathtaking and we plan to return the next time we have visitors. We were pleasantly surprised. |
