Gaffers take up residence on Celebrity Solstice

If you thought having a real lawn on a cruise ship was bizarre, how about this? A glass-blowing studio on Celebrity Cruises' new Celebrity Solstice where gaffers - apparently that's what the people who blow glass are called - can be seen plying their trade.

The oven is called the Glory Hole and is 1,120 degrees Centigrad. Fine on a cool, overcast day in the Med, not so much fun when the outside temperature is a sticky 80 degrees.
