WHITELINEN

Booked last minute cruise on Ascent. Paperwork and App say late dining. Can we go to any of the dining rooms earlier or do we have to try to change once we board?

Tonight they have the main pool complexly drained and half of the deck space cleared for power washing etc. There are deck hands with mask scrubbing the entire pool. There are three officers with flashlights shinning spot lights on to the stairs leading up to the two hot tubs. I have never seen such a thorough cleaning in my many years of sailing. 

We arrive back in Boston on 9/3 from Montreal on the Veendam. We plan on walking our luggage off and grabbing a cab to the airport (our flight is at 1:30). Are there lots of cabs or should we just do a transfer from the ship to the airport?
