1 schedule: This is the right answer. A "schedule" is a plan of events which will happen in the future. Another example: "My schedule is very busy this week, so I won't have time to meet you". We can also use the verb "to schedule", which means to organise or fix a date for an event.
2 surplus: This is the right answer. "Surplus" means "additional" and is often used in the context of sales and stocks. Another example: "We have some surplus bottles of perfume. What shall we do with them?".
3 crossing: This is the right answer. A "crossing" in this context means a journey or a trip across the sea. It's the same as a "flight" on a plane or a "hike" on foot. Another example: "Our crossing from one side of the Atlantic to the other took several weeks".
