Great, looking forward to meeting you!

Despite the consulate being close, no doubt we will have to sit in the office for hours with a number in our hands. Oh well, small price to pay I guess.

I guess we'll make our final decision about this cruise in July, before the first cancellation fees kick in, then we can get the yellow fever shots in August, then apply for the visas in, hmm, September. I seem to recall we need a letter from the cruise line stating that we're taking this cruise--have to check the consular website on that--ah, it says this: "Signed letter by travel agency with the booking of the trip and dates or print out of the booking with dates". Clear as mud.
