First Starbucks at sea steams into Florida port

Coffee lovers looking for a bit of sea air flavor in their espresso or Frappuccino might want to sample the first Starbucks at sea, which steamed into a Florida port on Thursday on board the world’s largest cruise liner.

Seattle-based Starbucks Corp, the world famous coffee chain, already has a nautical link — its founders took the name from Starbuck, the first mate on the Pequod whaler from Nantucket that hunted the white whale, Moby Dick, in Herman Melville’s famous novel.
