sportsmum Posted June 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Could someone please tell me how long the hot glass show is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisenGoddess Posted June 13, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2010 1.5 - 3 hours - they have many shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsquare Posted June 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Incidentally, you can come and go as you please - there is an open seating area with benches, and people come in after the show starts, or leave while it is on. So you can pretty much set your own time parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted June 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2010 They explain the process best and most completely at the start of the show. However, they do make more than one piece during the show and reiterate the info as they do each piece. The night time shows are pretty cool because of the colors!

That sounds like a great evening activity. I have been to a well-known glass factory and have watched the glass blowing before, and I agree, it would be great to see at night.

Tiggertastic Posted June 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2010 We were on the Eclipse in April and they did 2 shows a day 10-12 and 1-3 You can come and go as you please - make sure you pick up a raffle ticket on the days they do the raffle as they raffle off what they have made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted June 13, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Another note... they may not do shows the sames times and on all days of the cruise. So watch your dailies for specific times. And don't assume you'll wait to see the show on a particular day. They might not be working that day.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onessa Posted June 14, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 14, 2010 There are three artists on board at a time - generally for each show, each artist will make one piece each. About 30-60 minutes per piece. This is a great opportunity for a glass artist - no studio costs, no material costs - so you'll find them up there "experimenting" sometimes when there is no show going on. The crew on each the two S-class sailings we've been on have been great and more than happy to talk to you as they are practicing or when you see them outside of the show. My DD had a science project due over our T-giving cruise for a chemistry unit in general science. Eric Goldschmidt, who is an actual employee of CMOG, was very good about answering some questions for her for her report (which was observation of a material turning from one state to another -- so she chose to "obverse" glass turning from liquid to solid form) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
