| I would wholeheartedly recommend this cruise for old and young alike. The cruise, fortunately is also handicapped friendly. The crew were all friendly, humurous and tried to please.
The only 2 drawbacks were that, if you can, try to arange your cruise on a day when no bus tours are scheduled. After waiting in line for 3/4 of an hour before the cruise, a tour bus arrived, with seniors, about 10 minutes before the cruise. All the seniors from the bus got on the cruise FIRST, before anyone else that waited for about 1 hour. We were all very indignant. When I questioned the ticketing girl regarding this, she informed me that if it wasn't for the bus tours, there wouldn't be ANY cruise.
After we boarded, I told the captain about what had happened and he profusely apologized and announced, over the loadspeaker, that he was very sorry this had happened, but, should't have.
The other unfortunate thing was that there were supposed to be 2 lines. One for reservations and one for stand-by tickets (walk-ons), which never happened. People that had no reservations were sold tickets before a lot of us that had reservations. I just don't understand what the point was in acquiring reservations if you can buy tickets at the wicket ahead of the reservations anyway.
All-in-all the cruise was wonderful and very informative. Lots to see and many photo ops of very unusual things. |

| Visiting from NC, my best friend sis from Scottsdale planned this day trip for the two of us and what a priviledge and joyful adventure it was!
Relaxing, peaceful, serine, informative, absoultely gorgeous breathtaking views from the cruise boat. A literal feast for the eyes with soothing scenery for the heart, a glimpse of just one of the most awesome views of God's "live paintings" and up-close view of a portion of His creation.
The crew is gracious, welcoming, wonderful hosts/hostesses, witty, educational, and fun to be with on the journey.
I absolutely highly recommend the cruise to anyone visiting the area and plan myself on returning in the near future to visit again this beautiful and breathtaking site. |

| We throughly enjoyed our trip. The day was beautiful? The rocks and some of their imaginary formations as told by the captain- were fun. It was hard to believe that this canyon's rock formations were millions of years old. The captain and crew were very friendly. The captain even took some extra time to let us watch two rams and thier families in the upper elevation of the canyon. We would recommend this trip to anyone. |

| Peaceful and scenic boat ride. Narrative was entertaining...saw an eagle and some bighorn sheep (quite far away). Got some great photos of canyon landscape. |

| This is our second time aboard and it was just as enjoyable as our first visit.
Extremely enjoyable boat tour with majestic views of the surrounding mountains & scenery. Many opportunities for landscape photos. The ride to Canyon Lake is dotted with majestic views as well. Afterwards, suggest going to Tortilla Flats, about 5 miles farther down the road; then, if time allows drive towards Roosevelt Dam & Lake.
WORD OF CAUTION-- buy your tickets prior to your voyage or you probably will not be able to get on board. Each time we have gone- the trip was sold out ahead of time; and, customers were turned away.
The only inconvenience is the requirement to arrive about 30-45 minutes early and the need to stand in line to redeem your e-ticket for a boarding pass to get on the boat. |

| We enjoyed the cruise very much. The mountains and the water were just stunning and we enjoyed our informative captain's insight very much. It was an easy drive from where we were staying in Phoenix and absolutely worth the drive. |
