The crime committed most often during mealtime is reaching over someone else to get the salt, which is why it's always a welcome distraction when pirates mug you instead. Enjoy a side of piracy with your meal with today's Groupon: for $29, you get one general-admission ticket to Pirate's Dinner Adventure, in Buena Park.

Children under 3 are free of charge when seated on the lap or placed inside the handbag of a parent.

Pirate's Dinner Adventure immerses participants in a swashbuckling shindig filled with epic battles, aerobatics, tricks of light, and sword fights. Nosh complimentary appetizers amid the pre-show King's Festival, a lively sampling of the raucous revelry that is to come. During the Broadway-style main production, a professional cast entertains diners from the deck of a replicated 18th-century Spanish galleon that floats peacefully in a 250,000-gallon indoor lagoon. Guests are seated in one of six surrounding sections and are hostages—along with Princess Anita and her court—of Captain Sebastian the Black, a man of questionable integrity.

Diners cheer for their table's pirate mascot while feasting on a mighty meal accompanied by a bellyful of pirate song, cannon blasts, comedy, rope-swinging buccaneers, pyrotechnics, and romance. As you await your heroic rescue, munch through fresh salad or homemade vegetable soup. Next, dine on your choice of savory oven-roasted half chicken laden with broccoli and caribbean rice or buccaneer barbecue pork loin teeming with buttery mashed potatoes and freshly steamed broccoli trees. Finish your hearty high-seas helping with a dessert of warm apple cobbler, then take the edge off all the adventure and excitement by slurping unlimited soft drinks and coffee during the show and gargling like a pirate.

Though Pirate's Dinner Adventure features a February special online, this Groupon is valid for three months from the feature date, includes tax fees and is still the best deal available.
