Aye Aye, Captain!

Meta Prompt

The meta answer is something you may find on a ship.

Ahoy!

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!

Very clever puzzle. Couldn't see anything for a bit, but then the clouds parted, and it was smooth sailing.

Ergcat 12:05 · 2023-01-23T17:56:38.122Z
Good one! Saw it right away except I had “tsked” for “well, well” instead of “oho” ! But I went back through and fixed it! Thanks, Cap’n! I am on a ship right now but no parrots! We are going to Antarctica in search of penguins!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-23T18:52:43.230Z
  Thanks for solving, Ergcat. Good luck searching for those penguins in Antarctica. I'll be on a sunny beach in Aruba where there may indeed be a few parrots.
  - Ergcat 12:05 · 2023-01-24T00:26:31.907Z
    Have a great time!
ChrisCross 🤓7:32 · 2023-01-23T18:19:58.720Z
Loved it. I kind of cheated in that I was stuck in a rabbit hole of double letters, and I likely wouldn't have dropped it if I didn't see forum comments mentioning little rabbit holes and calling the meta clever. (Not that double letters aren't clever, to anyone who has made a double-letter meta.)
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-23T18:57:10.964Z
  Thanks, Chris. You're the second person to mention the double letters rabbit hole. I hadn't realized there were that many, but looking back I do find several instances.
  - dplass 4:49 · 2023-01-23T21:45:56.653Z
    I tried looking at double letters two different ways before I had the headslap moment.
BethA 4s · 2023-01-23T18:13:48.471Z

  Thank you, imontoo!
rjy 4s · 2023-01-23T22:05:21.815Z
Nice, Cap'n! I was also trapped in double letters, esp with TEN REPEATS in the center, and there were 9 double-lettered across words. It's stupid how many time I looked for a 10th. Nice AHA when all was said and done!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-23T23:16:42.389Z
  Yes, the double letters rabbit hole has proved to be quite deep, rjy. Thanks for solving.
dplass 4:49 · 2023-01-23T21:44:55.893Z

auee89 3s · 2023-01-23T22:37:13.812Z
Thanks Cap'n! Looked for "i"s at first, then quickly moved on once seeing repeats. Nice one.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-23T23:18:28.334Z
  I was wondering if anyone would consider the "i"s, auee89. Glad you found the right path.

Bird Lives 4s · 2023-01-23T23:57:14.849Z
I was hoping for PIRATE PARROT since in some regions of our land these are almost homonyms. Plus, I don't think Princess and Carnival are known for having budgies and macaws aboard along with their contagious microorganisms.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-24T01:00:41.218Z
  This is definitely a pirate ship parrot, Bird Lives. :)
DrTom 3s · 2023-01-24T12:56:31.609Z
Fun even the second time around! By the way, do you know what the Pennsylvania Dutch call their parrot? PollyAmish, ba dum tss.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-24T13:31:52.776Z
  Hi DrTom. Thanks for your help with pretesting!
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-24T16:31:35.405Z
  BTW DrTom, be careful not to catch the Amish flu. First you get a little hoarse, then you get a little buggy. :)

    and next thing you know you are sitting at the kitchen table and feel like you are up near the ceiling!
woozy 8:55 · 2023-01-24T17:02:57.463Z
Oog.... did I have sleepy eyes last night!

I couldn't find any clue that would be "fifty-fifty" so I chose 33D Department of Labor division because a division could be half for you and half for my for AROROT which I anagrammed to Oar Rot.

Okay, in the morning..... sheesh
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-24T18:04:47.983Z
  No prob, woozy. I can imagine that OAR ROT can also be found on some ships. :)
Eric Porter 53s · 2023-01-24T23:31:47.515Z
Nice. My first thought didn't quite work. I still can't figure out the other 'R'. I have Knock Knock -> Riff. It must be Rosa, but can't figure out how.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-25T01:37:27.032Z
  Thanks for solving, Eric. The other R comes from THERE THERE = "Everything will be just fine" (Relax).
ReB 4s · 2023-01-25T03:43:33.383Z
Hear hear! Need a cracker? Took a bit a head scratching until I looked at the title again and decided to look for grid words that could be doubled. Had to look up 16A to confirm there actually was a British band by that name.

Nicely done.
- Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-01-25T04:17:07.088Z
  Thanks, ReB. Glad you were able to find "DURAN DURAN". They were pretty popular in the 1980s.
