lakegirl16 Posted June 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I'm on the Solstice in mid December and read that there is a glass blowing experience on board. Posts suggest you can register in advance in the section where you find internet purchases. I'm not seeing this? Maybe, too early? Appreciate any information anyone can offer. Thanks in advance!!

Rare dream2cruise Posted June 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Check under "Internet and More" for the Glass Blowing. The final price for glass blowing is dependent on the piece of glass you choose to make. The online price gets you a reservation for the class. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2022 DH did it and thoroughly enjoyed it. He has blown glass off and on for years but we now live in a rural area with the nearest hot glass studio about 2hrs away. He learned some new techniques and will probably do it again in December when we are on the Solstice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsternight Posted June 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Looks like the price has gone up DW did it October 2019, it was $65 for a small ball. Booked it on line and picked a time once on ship. Turned out very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakegirl16 Posted June 26, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thanks everyone. I don't see it under the internet options for my cruise. Maybe too early, since the cruise is December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyCatRya Posted June 27, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If you do sign up (and you totally should 😃) be sure to go to area and set the day and time you want early on. We did signed up for the second sea day 12 night cruise) and it was perfect. You will have to go back the next day or so to retrieve it. I suggest not waiting till the last full day to do this awesome event! Attached is ouu finished products! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunzini Posted June 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It's really fun. We just signed up once we were on the ship. In that way we could see an example of what (we were to make) we were signing up for. Highly recommend it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be patient and keep watching for it. Worst case is that you will have to sign up when you get on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spw1947 Posted June 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I've just checked the Cruise Planner for our cruise on Eclipse in December and can't find any reference to glass blowing. I would have loved to try this. Isn't it offered on Aust-NZ cruises? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s really misleading since it says choose from one of eight designs. The site should really say explicitly that there’s another charge on top of that.

I have not done this so I am not speaking from personal experience. There are other posts here on Cruise Critic about the glass blowing class. Elaborate designs may cost more to do. It sounds like some basic designs are covered with the online price. Most seem to thoroughly enjoy it. I haven’t seen any bad reviews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
