Our 3-month 'world' cruise departs in just over a month. We're sailing on a Crystal ship called Serenity. We've been on the Serenity a couple of times before but it's recently been in dry dock for a major refurbishment and we're looking forward to seeing all that's new. The Crystal website has a 'check-in and planning' section where we can book services such as massages, hair and nail appointments, dining reservations and excursions. Although I'm not counting the days until we leave, each time I check into the site it tells me how many days are left. As of today there are 36 days until we set sail. Our new passports arrived. They're the 'large' size, having 52 pages versus the 'standard' size which have 28 pages. There are 43 blank pages for visas and entry/exit stamps. Some countries that we'll be going to require more than the usual 2 stamps (in and out) and some are picky and require blank pages that face each other...
