Absolutely loved going to Jewell Gardens. Making your own glass ornament is a one of a kind experience.

The glassblowing experience is completely worth it! However, I recommend purchasing directly from Jewell Gardens instead of from a cruise line. There's a bus with a nominal fee (I think it's $2 trips and $5 all day, but I'm not 100% sure) that you can catch in town that will take you there. The correct bus runs every 20-30 minutes or so during tourist season so I recommend giving yourself at least an hour between the time you disembark your boat and your glassblowing time. There's a small restaurant, a gift shop, and some very quaint gardens.

Chose the glassblowing experience as one of our excursions through Norwegian Cruise lines. Absolutely loved it. The gardens are small, but impressive. You can't believe the giant fruits and vegetables that the Alaska sun is able to produce. The glass blowing experience was great. The demonstration was probably an hour and a half long and included three different pieces to completion. They also provided delicious appetizers for us to munch on while we watched. If you don't do it as an excursion I think it also would be worth taking the public bus up to it (only a mile outside of the main downtown stretch). They have a farm to table restaurant their that looked awesome.
