Nice Cruise...Great Customer Service
Tue, Mar 6, 07   10:00 AM RagePiglet Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
The cruise around the lake was beautiful and the crew was great. We made reservations online and when we arrived at the lake, we discovered we had accidentally been booked for a chartered cruise of about 50 2nd graders! The Dolly Steamboat crew and staff were great offering us seats on a later cruise and even provided us free passes for the mix up. We decided to say on our original cruise and the tour was beautiful. The weather was great, the narration provide enough information to spark interest about the history and local stories about the lake and surrounding rock formations. I would certainly recommend this cruise to anyone.

well worth it

Wonderful afternoon cruise on the Dolly. Saw some beautiful canyon scenery along with some mountain sheep. The scenic drive to the boat was worth it in and of itself, recommend going early enough to enjoy the scenery of the Apache Trail, it's gorgeous.

Fantastic views

Sat on the top level and saw beautiful scenery. Majestic cliffs of varied colors. The big horn sheep stopped to take a look at us; we stared back in amazement. Snacks and drinks were available on board. A wonderful 90 minutes, the highlight of our weekend.

ENJOYED BUT DON'T THINK GROUP SHOULD PAY MORE
Fri, Jun 15, 07   6:30 PM QUEENBOTZ Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED MY DINNER CRUISE WITH 2 EXCEPTIONS. FIRST, I DON'T SEE WHY OUR GROUP SHOULD BE CHARGED MORE. WE ALL SAT IN THE SAME AREA AND WERE NOT CATERED TO ANY DIFFERENT. WE WERE NOT WAITED ON SPECIALLY AS A GROUP SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WERE CHARGED MORE. I HAVE ALREADY RECOMMENDED THIS CRUISE TO OTHERS AND THOSE THAT ARE NOT IN A GROUP SETTING SAID THEY WOULD ATTEND,THE OTHERS AGREE WITH ME AND BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA CHARGE FOR GROUPS PROBABLY WONT' ATTEND. THE OTHER THING IS, CAPTAIN TOM WAS GREAT AND FUN AND INFORMATIVE, BUT, WE COULD HARDLY HEAR HIM. I DON'T KNOW IF HE NEEDS TO SPEAK UP OR IF IT IS THE SPEAKER SYSTEM BUT WE GAVE UP TRYING TO LISTEN TO HIM. IT WASN'T THAT THE AREA AROUND ME WAS LOUD EITHER. OTHERWISE WE DID HAVE FUN.

A wonderful, relaxing cruise!

The boat is very clean, and the Captain (Jeff) is enthusiastic, interesting and knowledgeable. All guests are greeted as they board, children are given appropriate-sized life vests, and the fun begins almost immediately! It's a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

Wife, self, daughter and son-in-law very much enjoyed the cruise. Crew friendly and seating comfortable. Captain could (should?) have been a bit more knowledgeable about geology. Aquaintance with deep lake hydrology may increase his knowledge base. We all would have like to see wildlife, but noon sailing and hot weather pretty much precluded sightings. Perhaps add a morning cruise at 9:30 or 10:00? Over all, we enjoyed the cruise and would rate it 95% +.

Wonderful Cruise
Tue, Jan 20  2:00 PM purplenana Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

awful

the directions i got for the trip were awful and ended up on apache trail. dont even turn on that road it's so narrow and pot- holes all over. i called at 1: 30pm to get directions and the office closed. i asked many locals where the dolly steamboat was and no one had a clue. very dissapointed that i can't get a refund or 2 free tickets to come again.

Trip to Canyon Lake Dinner Cruise
Sat, Mar 1, 08   5:00 PM pulstkr69 Female 70+ Local Group of Friends
We very much enjoyed the trip on the paddle boat.. The scenery was spectacular and the accomadations were very comfortable. The guide gave us an excellent coverage of the sites and the personnel were very helpful and courteous.. The meal was very good but we would have enjoyed having wine with dinner. I would recommend this experience to other friends.. Thanks Shirley Keaster

Nice ride, but not narrated, as claimed
Wed, Mar 25  4:00 PM pshimab Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The views were beautiful, and the ride was calm and relaxing. The highlight was seeing the mountain goats at the top of the mountain. A couple of other things were pointed out about the cactus and the skyline, but 80% of the ride was not narrated. The day that our family went, the captain was being interviewed by a camera crew, which may explain the lack of narration. Even after the interview was over, there was no narration. We also turned around early, before we reached the end of the lake, about 30-35 minutes into the ride. Overall, it was a nice ride, but it was not the "narrated nature cruise" that we had expected.

Great Outing For All
Mon, Apr 16, 07   2:00 PM pschwend Female 60-69 Local Family With Children
We enjoyed the Dolly and Canyon Lake. We had 13 people with a range of age from 90 years down to 6 years. All ages enjoyed the outing. Our guests were relatives from Germany who did not speak English. They had a great time even though they could not understand much of the Captain's description of the area. The Captain was very interesting. The Dolly was comfortable. You might bring a light coat or wrap in the evening or in spring or fall as there was a slight wind in the main lake area. If you have the time, visit Tortilla Flat also. The food there was pretty good and the museum and things to see were wonderful.
