Weather makes a difference
Fri, Aug 1, 08   6:00 PM kevintheriot Male 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
You need to understand that the boat is not enclosed. You will be exposed to whatever the weather is outside. It would have been fun to bring binoculars! The smallest table they had seated four. Hence if you're thinking of a romantic evening for just the two of you think again. It would be fun to go with a group of people you already know, or be prepared to make new friends. Kevin, Mesa

Great trip, our 5 year old grandson really enjoyed it! We've been on the cruise before with relatives from out of state (MN.) in April and they really enjoyed it! However, wouldn't recommend doing it in August. Great tour, thanks!

Wonderful Experience
Thu, Jul 31, 08   12:00 PM my2darlings Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
My family and I enjoyed the ride, the narration and the friendly people aboard the Dolly Steamboat. Everything was conducted in a professional manner. Captain Tom did a great job pointing out various rock formations and describing the area to us. There is a snack shop on board where we were able to purchase cold drinks and snacks, as well as a cooler full cold water for Free! My husband and I are planning to go on the dinner cruise as soon as the weather cools off just a little bit.

We Loved It

This was a great excursion, well worth the price. The food was very good & the service was efficient, courteous, and attentive. The trip itself wasn't rushed; the boat slowed and even paused for wildlife viewing and the Captain's narration was appropriate--not too much nor too little. Very relaxing, we'd do it again.

Beautiful scenery, our requests were honored

It was a good value and a wonderful photo op. So nice to see different groups represented, from teens on a date, to a few families, to one 30 yr anniversary, and even some cultural diversity on our trip. Maybe the evening isn't really suitable for young children,a little long for their attention, many seemed to get cranky toward bedtime also as it was very warm they really did not like wearing wee one's required life vests. But for the adults, it was a lovely evening, even with 100+ degrees, Captain Tom kept us all in the shade as much as possible until the sun went down. Lots of information. Even after 20 years here, I learned many new things. He was a little overly apologetic about all the water traffic...what should we expect on a lake in summer? One personal comment made right at the end was a little over the top for my companion. But the rest of the staff was very competent and all our needs were met without being intrusive. We agreed should bring visiting family next time.

Very nice dinner cruise. Staff extremely friendly with excellent service. Fillet was very good, chicken overcooked and dry. Mr Sky was informative and entertaining. Had a great time! ( Birthday dinner for wife )

trip on the Dolly Steamboat
Thu, Jul 17, 08   12:00 PM asweeney Female 60-69 Local Family With Children
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.

Love It!

We thouroughly enjoyed the trip. Whenever people come to visit from out of town we always take them on the dolly. I highly recommend it to everyone. It was more enjoyable than the grand canyon!

Beautiful scenery but passenger lessened the event
Sat, Jul 12, 08   6:00 PM shawski Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
First, let me say that Captain Tom and crew were great. The cruise itself was nice and peaceful and would have been enjoyable if not for fellow passengers. This group had a toddler with them that cried the whole entire cruise. Not only was this group late for the cruise by 10 minutes causing a late start, but they were seated upstairs. Evidently they liked the downstairs better, because the spent the whole trip downstairs on the veranda with their crying and disruptive kid right outside the door to the downstair seating area. Since we were the first table inside the door, we were disrupted and irritated the whole cruise. I have nothing against children being included in events if they are not disruptive and spoil the whole evening for everyone else. We had all paid for the cruise and the experience was ruined. I believe the crew on board should have at least made them go back to their seats so as to not disrupt the whole bottom level. I would recommend the cruise to others in the future, but maybe kids should be passengers on the day cruises instead of the evening cruise. I'm just glad I was there with girlfriends and not a date because it took all of the romance out of the evening.

Great for family fun
Thu, Jul 10, 08   12:00 PM jankowski Female 60-69 Local Family With Children
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.

Nice
Wed, Jul 9, 08   12:00 PM bowmanfive2 Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
A nice trip, beautiful scenery, but hot at noon! They advertise a first come first serve seating...and they do give you a number...we got there early and were first in line. However, first they board those who are elderly or need assistance. It's nice for them, but not nice for those who purposely get there early, especially when a bus from a retirement community shows up full of people. They gave them all numbers...but then loaded them first... When you get there an hour early, wait in the heat for your number, then end up with 30 people in front of you, it's not really first come first seating as they advertise. They need to rethink that.

Wonderful, breathtaking, and the food is good too!
Sat, Jul 5, 08   6:00 PM cketch Female 40-49 Local Family Without Children
I've been on this cruise three times now. First on business; then I went back with my family, and most lately with my in-laws. Everyone I've been with on this cruise has agreed with me that it's wonderful. The people are very nice; Food is good; provides a little respite from the intense Phoenix heat; Can't beat the scenery.
