Nice

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.

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.

I recommend this cruise

My husband, our infant son, and I took this cruise in the middle of summer. It was warm on the boat, but not unbearable in the shade. It was nice to get away from Phoenix for an afternoon. My husband and I both grew up on a river so this was a nice excursion as it reminded us of the midwest summer. If taking an infant, I suggest using an infant carrier instead of a stroller. This way you may sit up top and have a great view!

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

A group of my friends got together for the 4th of July and decided to take the Dolly for a very enjoyable 90 minute cruise around Canyon Lake. Though it was a hot day, there was ample shade on the Dolly and cold water was provided (thank you!). The crew did a great job, and were super nice. I learned a few facts about Canyon Lake, sit back and enjoyed the scenery and great company.

Not for children
Sat, Jun 28, 08   6:00 PM wrenchit Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
Three family members told this reservation site that we had children under 5. The reservationist kept telling everyone they were free and would not list them. When we got to the boat they couldn't guarantee space or meals for them because they didn't know about them. The food on the boat was fabulous and they were accomodating, but I'm still mad at the reservation people. There was only 1 working bathroom on the boat so my 3 year old learned to dance in place and hold it in line. All children are required to wear a life vest during the entire cruise. The vest are big, bulky and very hot.

The cruise was very enjoyable and the help was very nice. The only thing I can say is that I was not impressed with Captain Tom. He had a negative attitude and I noticed he was short with some of the people. He should keep his negative remarks to himself and not share with the customers. I think if he doesn't like his job then he should get another.

My 10 year old grandson was visiting from CT

I had seen the boat but never done the trip. I thought my grandson would enjoy it and he really did. The captain's narration added to the fun. He was careful to point out wildlife and move the boat close to shore to see the group of big horn sheep. I would do the dinner cruise with a group of adults in the future.

A Great TIme on Canyon Lake

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.

hot, but good
Sat, Jun 21, 08   6:30 PM rycarroll Female 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
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...
