China mugs, bowls and plates here as well. Only had one breakage, and that was the handle falling off one of the mugs while being washed up - a manufacturing fault and nothing to do with being on a boat. There are some matching spares stashed away in my parents' garage roof just in case.
However, my mum still won't have glass on the boat, so we have some good-quality polycarbonate drinking "glasses". The 500ml soft-drink glasses and the shorter tumblers which I use for fruit-juice, G&T, or wine are fine. You know they're not glass when you pick them up, but they don't feel cheap and lightweight. The stemmed wine glasses I'm less keen on, both because they seem more "fake" and because the stemmed shape is a bit of a waste of space and the instability is silly on a boat. I wonder if mum and dad use them? A bit silly if we're both keeping them on board for the others' benefit!
