Wow, very clever! By the way, I will be your (very inferior) substitute cruise director in Bob's absence this week.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I have an answer, but don't feel it is 100% so need to look at it again.

I'm Ashore.
Not quite 100%, but only because one item of relevance is sketchy.

Thankfully the island has a massive TV.
It's 5 pm on the East coast, so I'll have an IPA and get back to Golf.

Bites lips, and just dully says, "Done & done."
Thank you, Wendy, for taking the helm.
And thank you, Mike, for my kind of puzzle!

Ashore! (The only fly in the ointment is that I made a very silly error in the puzzle itself. Oh, well ... it happens ... 😳 ... 😜.)

I think I'm finished but it seemed a little too easy so I'm going to sleep on it and do the pen/ink version in my paper in the morning to see if I missed something on another level. Going out to the movies tonight!

Finished filling in the grid, but am still at sea on the meta. My typical state. Perhaps I'll get it later, but that's rare.

Done and done.

I always submit via the webform...I wonder if mug winners typically do the same or email.
