With 6 Ships, What Will Be the Replacement Term for Grand Slam?

[anricat]

So maybe this is a stupid question, but why can't it still be a Grand Slam?

Grand Slam also references to tennis and it's also four major tournaments. This definitely is an international reference, even more than baseball's.

However, the term originated in baseball as a four-run home run since the bases were loaded. At Denny's, the breakfast was called a Grand Slam since you could pick your four items. So, the term is definitely tied to the number 4.

I had no idea grand slam was a sports reference hahahaha. I just thought of Denny's. Guilty. Not that I even knew what was in a Denny's grand slam, but I've driven past it written on the giant banners they hang. But I do love the idea of a touchdown. While grand slam went over my head, I still knew it meant you sailed on all 4 ships, the term touchdown could mean the same even for those non-americans or non-football fans.

Six-Pack gets my vote.

Six pack, or maybe the gambler in me will go for the lottery based Pick Six.

I can also go along with something relating to a cube (six sides, for the geometrically challenged). Upon sailing on all six, the Castaway Club gift could be a cube/stand (along the lines of the below - sorry, don't know how to shrink the pic) with each ship represented on one of the sides
