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.

I brought a group of seniors from my church and we had a fabulous time. The crew of the dolly was wonderful to us. Jack Bass

A great ride
Thu, Jun 26, 08   12:00 PM richardday Male 70+ Combination Family Without Children
We were hosting a newly wed couple from back home in NY,and this trip gave them their first look at wild Bighorns.They took many pictures of the two herds that we were fortunate to see. Any other family members who visit us in the future are sure to want to see what they did and we will treat them to a cruise.

Relaxing Ride with Unexpected Bighorn Sheep
Wed, Jun 25, 08   12:00 PM tmhamelin Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was a nice break from the dusty desert. The captain was a great narrator, and we saw petrified wood, native plants, many birds, and surprisingly 8 bighorn sheep! There were a couple with big horns, and even a little baby. As an animal lover, this was the highlight of the ride for me. Even without the sheep, the tour is worth taking. It would be nicer without the music the crew plays, too.

My 10 year old grandson was visiting from CT
Wed, Jun 25, 08   12:00 PM Fickenscher Female 70+ Local Other
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.

Relaxing Sunday Afternoon
Sun, Jun 22, 08   12:00 PM tashazoey Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

A Great TIme on Canyon Lake
Sun, Jun 22, 08   12:00 PM johnwwilson Male 60-69 Local Other
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!
Sat, Jun 21, 08   6:30 PM helenmoynan Female 60-69 Combination Other
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
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.

excellent all around outing
Sat, Jun 21, 08   6:30 PM AngelaO Male 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
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...

Nice Trip
Sat, Jun 21, 08   6:30 PM deacsa Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I enjoyed the Dolly Steamboat Cruise. The food was tasty, the views spectacular and the staff was wonderful. I was there for the astrology cruise and found Dr. Sky to be friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and I would go again. One thought of caution: not everyone on that cruise was interested in the astrology. I found it hard to hear Dr. Sky as several intoxicated people were allowed to be loud and somewhat unruly. You should keep in mind that alcohol is allowed and passengers are allowed to roam both decks which unfortunately for a few of us interupted our meals.
