All aboard the Luxe Princess

Here’s a tasty tipple to tickle a sea capn’s fancy that’s no clap of thunder. It won’t make you squiffy, aye, there aint no nip o’ Nelson’s folly in it to be found. But don’t hang a jib, lads, like some death’s head on a mop! You’ll have ne’er a more delightful drink to sluice yer gobs with this side o’ the high seas.

Heave ho, I'm parched!

We’ll drop anchor off Galveston Island, home of notorious pirate Jean LaFitte, and batten down the hatches while we head ashore to mingle with the landlubbers. There’s bounty to be had for a few doubloons at Coltivare, where Capn’ Crowl-Keck runs a tight ship. She’ll suffer your prittle-prattle like a consummate host while her quick and nimble crew whip up yer heart’s desires, like this faux Grog that’ll make you sing a chanty. Now avast ye, and tip yer tankards to the Sea Chest – bottoms up!

Time to hoist the mizzen
