| The one thing i did not like and will probably be the reason we don't do it again i had tickets that i bought in advance but walk ons were able to go on board as special needs, so i wound up with a lousy location, this should be seating like the dinner cruise does, reserved so you get a good spot . |

| I took this cruise for a date that I planned for my girlfriend. We both love nature and doing activities outside so this was a perfect get away for an afternoon. The drive was very nice only about an hour and a half from downtown phoenix. Canyon Lake and its surrounding were breath-taking and the whole place was beautiful. I only had a few complaints throughout the trip. One being the lines and waiting to get your boarding pass. It didn't take very long but other people who had come that day as walk ons got to recieve their passes before others there who are made reservations, thus getting to board sooner. In the end it didn't make much of a difference because I still got the spot on the Dolly that I wanted. The cruise was a very smooth ride and road up very close to the sides of mountains so that you could see every little detail. The only other problem was not the narration but the speaker quality. From where I was seated and moving around at, which was the lower level back near the engine, you couldn't make out what he was saying or you would have to get very close to the speakers. This wasn't an issue inside whenever I went in but outside there was no point in trying to listen to it. Besides these small things this trip was wonderful and I would highly recemmend it, |

| This is a very relaxed way to show visitors to our incredibly diverse state, some of the natural beauty we have here in Arizona. |

| This cruise is great! The 90 minutes goes by really fast. The boat is clean, the crew is nice, the captain is funny and the views are fabulous. Great for older families, seniors and group outings. A big thumbs up! |

| I had cousins in from Scotland and New Jersey this November. We enjoyed everything about the tour. The narrator had a wonderful speaking voice and quite a sense of humor. The staff that was upstairs with us was completely knowledgeable about the area. Also, she shared her binoculars. And the best part of this cuise was seeing over a dozen bighorn sheep on the side of a mountain. What a thrill. |

| Our 15-year-old grandson was visiting us for a week from Illinois, and we added the Dolly Steamboat to his itinerary as we traveled around the state. We enjoyed the cruise and the sights...sort of a quiet time for a 15-year-old after a week of hurried activity. We will do this again. |

| 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. |
