[quote=Scoopmama;1680299]Well, Scoop is now loaded on Tagus! Departure from Southampton is moved up to Sunday 8/12. I guess that pre-cruise party is pretty wild

You mean I have to wait THREE MORE DAYS!!!! AARRGGHHH!!!! I'm glad y'all are so calm about this...

So what do you think the entertainment will be for our babys? I should think at a minimum they should watch The Italian Job and maybe the Bourne movies...

That must have been one heck of a pre cruise party if the boat is now delayed to the 12th!! I think we must have a very naughty group of minis heading our way!! Like mother, like son!!

I just checked the WW site, and Marvin has been loaded on the vessel!! Does anyone know the real reason the ship won't sail until 8/12? Just curious.

Let's hope! In the style of Douglas Adams, what if the Minis have a "Track your Owner" site that THEY can log into, to see if we are worthy? Are you obsessed? Calm? Indifferent? Think of the poor minis that weren't specifically ordered by someone. Little orphans !

My guy was loaded on the vessel at about 8am this morning...it seems like my car has as much luck with ships as I do with airplanes...get to the place all early only to find you the trip isn't leaving when you expect it will...oh well, if you need him, i'm sure he'll be in the bar...

I see you missed the 2 for 1 also... My MA is Jarid. My poor baby doesn't even have a name yet... Loved just the same. We're waiting to see if boy or girl (we didn't ask at the ultrasound). We could do like we did for my son Blair and pick a name that works for both I guess!

I've ordered from Rassmusen also, MA Larry. Maybe our babies will introduce all of us when we do pickup.... They will know each other well.

And if they try to hold them too long in CA they could stage a breakout and zoom up to see us!

Your MINI will make it. How can they leave it behind with all of ours throwing a fit inside the hull.

Of course your Mini will be on board!

Weird thing I just noticed on my bedtime check of the WW site:
Under the vessel check it lists the Tagus as departing on 8/12, but under schedules, it shows 8/10 ETD. Hmmmm. Time for night time obsession!

I do love the fact that with the 8 hour time difference, by the time I wake up, they've done a day's work and there is real progress!

'Nite all!

Bummer - looks like our kids were bad - mine got the boot as well. Just hope they behave themselves sitting that long at the port
Safe travels to the rest of you.

That's terribly funny to contemplate as I do a quick rundown of my summer vacation behavior...

Owner tracking that is

Well I checked the WW site this morning and it now has a bill of landing number that you can click on and check that your VIN is listed. I'm told by someone in this industry that once the bill of landing has been issued it is a done deal!! So it appears that there are 523 minis aboard and Marvin is one of them!! I feel terrible for those that didn't make it and have to wait for the next ship!! We still consider you part of our group, so keep posting and let us know when your babies are USA bound!

Yes, keep us posted, but don't gloat! It looks like some of you are leaving BEFORE Tagus!!!!!

How about if we all buy a bottle of champagne, and when the Tagus sets forth, we toast the voyage. Or the Panama Canal crossing? Or both!!

OK, I think it fitting to toast on those two occasions PLUS docking in CA, then again when the Minis go home for the first time.

As for the 3 day late departure.... I think that deserves some sort of action fitting of a delay. Any ideas?

Hi tnt -

Can you explain how to find the bill of lading? I see where to enter the bill of lading number, but I don't know how to find the number....any help would be appreciated!

Do I start from here?

Actually use the link below and enter your VIN number. It will give you more specific info on the ship and your mini. The bill number will appear in the upper right hand corner of the Cargo Status History.
