Non refundable tickets a turn off. Cruise relaxing
|

| 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. | ||||||

trip on the Dolly Steamboat

| 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. | ||||||

First come, first serve as far as seating

| 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. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

Second Dinner Cruise...Really enjoyed!

| I took my 86 year old mother and her friend up from Tucson for the dinner cruise. Of course, the scenery was fabulous...can't change that!! The cruise itself was very enjoyable. We did the astronomy cruise due to date of our trip, not by choice, but it was certainly interesting and educational for all of us. The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially to my mother and her friend. They (and I) appreciated the extra assistance they were given. The food was good overall, except the chicken was overcooked. I think it was last time, as well. That may be due to bacteria concerns, but it was so dry it was difficult to cut, which seems a little overkill! My steak was great, not overcooked. It's a really good meal, especially considering you are out on a boat. Good job! I would recommend..and have...the dinner cruise to anyone. It's a beautiful setting and the crew are so nice and helpful. It's something that can be done more than once and there's always something new to enjoy. Even my mother's friend...who is a bit difficult to please, shall we please...did enjoy herself. Thank you. | ||||||

hot, but good

| My husband took me on the Dolly Steamboat as a surprise. Unfortuniately, it was a very hot day. He had scheduled it for a Friday, but we were switched to Saturday in order to fill the boat. Consequently we ended up inside instead of outside on the upper deck. The captain gave some very interesting info regarding the lake and its development, but a group celebrating a birthday behind us were so loud, we could only hear bits and pieces. In fact, there were several groups who were obnoxiously loud and did not care to listen to either the captain or to Dr. Sky later in the evening. We would have really enjoyed the program presented had we been able to hear. I really don't know why these people bothered to take this trip as they did not enjoy the scenery or program provided. I would hesitate to spend the money to do this trip again for fear of the same results evenn though I think it could be fun and interesting. I normally do not complain when people are having a good time, but think they should have sitted off by themselves or asked to be a little more quiet for the benefit of others. | ||||||

| Food was very good; beautiful surrounding; helpful and accomodating staff; presentation re astronomy related views, etc. was outstanding....only concern would be the very warm summer temps make it a bit uncomfortable until after the sun begins to set....I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone....best trip next to viewing the Grand Canyon... | ||||||

Dolly Steamboat ride June 2008

| 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. | ||||||

| We took the sunset dinner cruise. The food was good. The canyon was really beautiful Very well done and worth the price. Try to get seating that is not covered, in the bow or second level. This is a better view of the high canyon walls | ||||||

| Would like to salute Captain Tom, Nicole and the other assiatant (Upper Level) as well as the cooking staff for a wonderful evening cruise on the lake. The serenity and views were very relaxing and even more so with dinner. Our group of ten was seated in front of the boat taking in all the views and narrations by Captain Tom. I personally want to thank Nicole for the seating arrangement with my group as I feel she had gone the extra mile for me to impress my friends. In fact, I heard from my friends afterwards that they intend on bringing their family members when they visit onto the Dolly Cruise. One couple said, we have cruised the Dolly before, but never on a dinner cruise and this trip was fantastic with our friends being together. Just want to mention that while cruising, conversation among our group was at almost a standstill as we listen to the narration and enjoyed the beautiful views. The time went too fast for us. | ||||||
