Aye Aye, Captain!
Ahoy Muggles!
Come aboard! We're expecting you! Yes, today's MMM is coming to you live..., er, in syndication, from the deck of the "Pacific Princess". All of your favorite characters are here including Gopher, Doc, Julie, good old Isaac, and my personal favorite - Captain Stubing. You can't run a ship without a good Captain, and every Captain needs a good crew - preferably one that respectfully and dutifully takes orders (unlike mine on the "Wicked Fishah!". Ahem! ) I'd like to thank @Abide, @Al Sisti, @whimsy, @boharr, @DrTom, and @Joe Ross for their pretesting and technical help.
The meta answer is something you may find on a ship.

Difficulty:
This one's kinda like a Mill Pond that someone just skipped a stone across, so let's call it 1.5 rounded up to 2.
I'll be around most of the week to answer questions and provide nudges, but I'll be heading to the Caribbean (not via cruise ship) this weekend. @Wendy Walker and @BrennerTJ have graciously agreed to team up for the reveal, which I'm sure will be fabulously shipshape!
Nudges are here.
Tamara's awesome reveal is here.
Good luck!
Cap'n Rick
P.S. If you enjoy solving on Crosshare, help keep the site running by donating a few bucks.

Off the (nautical) couch! Nice one, Rick. Fun AHA moment!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Off the couch! Enjoyed it!
Just to embrace the Year of the Rabbit, I followed one wrong rabbit hole before getting on the right track.
