| I did not like the fact that the tickets were non refundable but could only be exchanged for a cruise on a different day even if the cruise was cancelled by the operators. This option would not have worked for out of town guests here for a limited time period. I booked the cruise two to three weeks ahead and was quite nervous the day before the cruise when I learnt that the cruise had not gone on the previous 3 Fridays although they had shown available at the website.
Having said all that I was pleasantly surprised at the upgraded Dolly. It had been many years since I had taken the cruise. The crew were professional, the boat comfortable, the narration and music appropriate and pleasant. It was a relaxing experience that I would recommend. We had booked the only 10am cruise for July. The noon cruise which showed available every Friday in July would have been too uncomfortable in July in Arizona in my opinion so I am not sure why there was only one 10am cruise available in July. |

| My 10 year old Granddaughter was visiting from S. California. We were looking for someplace to take her that did not involve spending a lot for gas to get there. After searching the internet we came up with the Dolly Steamboat. The Dolly Steamboat was the perfect solution. All three of us really did enjoy the day. The narration was interesting. The boat was comfortable, and the scenery was fabulous. We plan to do it again. |

| We brought our 10 year old grandson on the Dolly - he is from Colorado and he was very intune to the diversity of the ecology. He was very interested in the "sightings" pointed out by the captain. At times he had some difficulty "seeing" the images in the rocks. My only request is that when they are pointed out a little more time is given to individuals on both sides of the boat to find the images. |

| We were told it would be first come first serve in seating. Well....that isn't the case. All those with wheelchair's......canes, etc. were seated first.....which was a bus load of people. We arrived early so we could have choice seating. This wasn't the case. We were disappointed to be the last on the Steamboat. |

| We saw two groups of Desert Bighon Sheep which was very exciting. The scenery is fantastic, and the tour guide was very good. |

| A nice way to spend a few hours on a Sunday. Not too long on the water and just enough narration not to become overwhelming. |

| My wife and I decided on the spur of the moment to take the cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The scenery is beautiful and the ship's crew members were very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend it. As a bonus for us, Kelly Ripa, (Regis & Kelly) her husband and family were passengers on our cruise. |

| We had family visiting from the east coast this year and took them for a ride on Dolly. Even though it was pretty hot that day, the breeze we felt while on the boat was really nice. The music in the background, the narration from the captain, the scenery, and the slow pace of the boat was very relaxing and interesting. This was my fifth excursion on Dolly and I find something new to enjoy on every trip. I highly recommend this trip any time of the year for local residents and especially for visitors. |

| This is the second time within two months that I have taken this cruise. The first time I was so busy taking photos, that I didn't get to "see" a lot of things. This time, I sat back and totallly enjoyed the cruise. |

| This is not a trip for young kids who are looking for action, e.g., a lot of wild life. It is a great boat ride and the mountain scenery is beautiful. It's a great trip for family get togethers and small groups. Would highly recommend. |
