Hello Dolly (Steamboat)
Sat, Mar 8, 08   12:00 PM phoenixellen Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We had a most relaxing and enjoyable ride 45 minutes up and 45 minutes back down Canyon Lake on the Dolly Steamboat. Music and narration accompanied us on the trip which enhanced our journey by describing some of the sights we could see on the mountainsides along the lake's edge. Snacks were available to be purchased...but we just sipped the water we brought with us and chatted softly as we sat comfortably around a table on the upper deck. I hope to go again in a year or two with my husband.

Perfect Introduction for Visitors
Fri, Mar 7, 08   12:00 PM laurelbyrne Female Unspecified Local Group of Friends
This is always first on our list of activities for visitors new to the area. People are always surprised that a dessert area has such a beautiful lake area. The only change I would make would be the boarding process. After making reservations via Zwerve including prepaying, we still had to queue up for over a half an hour to get out boarding number. Much like Southwest Airlines old system, if you don't get there early enough to stand in line for almost an hour, you end up boarding last. Not convenient.

Nice scenery

It was fine - a long curvy drive but otherwise ok. Not very informative narrative but ok. We would recommend it.

Very Enjoyable Outing
Wed, Mar 5, 08   12:00 PM Steveeszenyi Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
All in our party enjoyed this cruise. The Captain and Crew were delightful and charming, and informative about pertinent information regarding the sights. It is an excellent outing for locals, with our without houseguests, and certainly highly recomended for visitors who know enough to venture up to Canyon Lake. It was a great time. Picnicked afterwards at one of the Forest Service picnic tables. Go!

Relaxing Ride through Beautiful Scenery
Tue, Mar 4, 08   2:00 PM maryanded Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The crew was very helpful. The boat is nicely appointed. The only negative comment relates to the method of lining up to get "boarding passes". It was rather haphazard. Things that might help would be a loud speaker system and/or signs that tell folks, upon arrival, what the procedure entails.

A fine family, educational trip.I had relatives he
Mon, Mar 3, 08   12:00 PM LibbyW Female 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I had relatives here from Illinois and took them on this trip. It was a beautiful trip and narrated concisely and interestingly. I found no trouble with anything except the restaurant which may or may not be connected with you. We were told our food would be served right away. We told them that we were going on the Dolly trip. It didn't come so we left without eating. Perhaps the instructions you make in the advertising would say to get there long before the trip if eating was considered. Several people left with us which was too bad. Otherwise everything was just great and I'll recommend it to others in Mesa.

Beautiful peaceful journey
Sun, Mar 2, 08   2:00 PM charding Female 60-69 Local Family Without Children
I enjoyed the friendly cruise commentary by the boats captain. His funny and informative banter helped to make the trip pleasurable. On the negative side. We arrived early and stood in line for the passes we had purchased. When we received pass number 66, the back stated these were given out on a first come basis. A tour bus pulls up late and received passes starting with #1 and loaded first. This angered a lot of people including my group. The pass did not say that tours were given preference to others. This isn't a first come basis. I would have to tell anyone who asked me about the trip about this part of the trip as a warning. It did take away from the trip from the get go especially when a few of the tours group waved their low numbered tickets at us who had been waiting for so long as they walked by us fools who showed up early!

Ticketing Procedure
Sun, Mar 2, 08   12:00 PM LonnieFAnder Female 60-69 Combination Family With Children
The cruise was beautifull scenery but the naration could have included some information about the dam for those in our party who have not taken the cruise before. The whole process for boarding was terrible, having purchased tickets days in advance meant nothing as you still had to wait in a long line that only had one person processing the tickets for everyone. Also the seating was done according to those who picked up the tickets first. Advance sales should have taken priority. Thank you, The Andersons Rimrock, Arizona

Trip to Canyon Lake Dinner Cruise
Sat, Mar 1, 08   5:00 PM pulstkr69 Female 70+ Local Group of Friends
We very much enjoyed the trip on the paddle boat.. The scenery was spectacular and the accomadations were very comfortable. The guide gave us an excellent coverage of the sites and the personnel were very helpful and courteous.. The meal was very good but we would have enjoyed having wine with dinner. I would recommend this experience to other friends.. Thanks Shirley Keaster

Wonderful trip, great meal
Sat, Mar 1, 08   5:00 PM carolwagner Female 60-69 Combination Family Without Children
The weather was perfect, the trip just fast enough to see the beautiful scenery and take pictures, the staff friendly and helpful and knowledgable about the boat and scenery. The meal eaten by candlelight was great and more than enough food (for me) with the canyon walls in silhouette and then later lighted from the light reflected from the boat. The music was mellow and appropriate. We recommend this trip. Don't know how it would be if the weather is bad though.
