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

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

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.

First come, first serve as far as seating
Wed, Jul 9, 08   12:00 PM joywhitaker Female 60-69 Unspecified Unspecified
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.

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.

Warm Night - Beatiful Sights - Horn was a Fright
Sat, Jul 5, 08   6:00 PM vrasmussen Male 50-59 Combination Other
My daughter and I both enjoyed the cruise and the dinner was much better than we anticipated. Filet mignon and grilled chicken, baked potato (generously garnished), steamed vegetable, dinner roll, salad, and apple pie for dessert. The captain, steamboat crew, and catering staff were all very pleasant and eager to see to it that everyone enjoyed the evening. The captain provided narration during portions of the cruise which was both interesting and informative but never to the point of distraction. The music was a variety of well chosen selections - some light hearted, some heartwarming, some inspirational, and all of it appropriate. The canyon proved to be a cool respite from the day's heat and relatively little other boat traffic on the lake; which was quite a surprise because it was a long holiday weekend (4th of July) when we attended. I wish they would put a new horn on the boat. Instead of having that definite "steamboat hooot-toot" it sounded more like my father's Buick.

Excellent Choice for a Family Vacation Adventure
Sat, Jul 5, 08   12:00 PM maxandevan Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The Dollysteamboat 90 minute tour of Canyon Lake was our first experience on our 2 week vacation of the southwest. The length of time was perfect for both adults and children. Snacks are available for purchase such as candy and chips. You may bring your own water bottle and I recommend it. There is an upper and lower deck. Children must wear a life jacket at all times. We saw mountain goats, a blue Heron, beautiful scenery. The Captain narrates during the ride. Plenty of time is given for photos. We have two boys ages 11 and 14 and we all enjoyed the trip.

I recommend this cruise
Sat, Jul 5, 08   12:00 PM kellyfleener Female 20-29 Local Family With Children
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.

Enjoyable holiday adventure!
Fri, Jul 4, 08   12:00 PM kellymartin Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
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.
