All Aboard: Caribbean Highway departed 10/26/2007 to arrive Charleston 11/8/2007

My Mini is on the K Line Caribbean Highway that departed Southampton 10/26/2007 with expected arrival in Charleston 11/8/2007.
Anyone else aboard?

Looks like my Mini is partying alone.... or with *gulp* total strangers.
None of the ship tracking sites (sailwx) show positions for this one - they
apparently are not reporting any weather data or anything up to now anyway.
Anyone with a vesseltracker account (free or otherwise) that can check on this?
Call sign is H9ZW for Caribbean Highway.

Here is a link to a picture of the ship......

You are quite correct. The arrival date is correct though.
How do I change a heading?

Thread title fixed (harley0711, I got your PM).

Note that only moderators & administrators can edit thread titles. However, the next time you see something like this (either in your own thread or someone else's), the best way to bring it to our attention is to report the first post using the Report Post icon () and type in the request. This will send the message to all moderators of the given forum. The post reporting feature isn't only for bad stuff... it is great for "FYI" type things too!

Well... I am sure my Mini is having a good time.... Anyone else know they are on this ship? The W&W have the advantage of being able to check and follow the voyage usually.... not much activity on the K-Line ship posts. Oh well.

Interesting --- the Charleston port site has Caribbean highway coming in early - 11/4/2007 instead of the 8th... maybe because of hurricane Noel??

A GHOST SHIP - and it is not even Halloween!!

Yipes.... The Caribbean Highway was listed in the Charleston site at scheduled to arrive 11/4/2007 yesterday but is GONE from the list entirely now. It never made it to the DOCKED portion of the listing and is not on the previously docked section and no longer on the 30 days expected list..... Gulp!

Anyone know anything about this????

Update: Charleston port site is all messed up as of 8:30 AM central time today at least. Most ships not even named at present and no way to figure this out. Will check on it later to see if it is fixed. Maybe our Ghost ship will appear!

Steve

Most recent UPDATE from 10:40 AM central time today:
I called the Port of Charleston. The shipping was messed up because of Hurricane Noel and not everything is posted on the web site. The nice lady in the department dealing with shipping told me the Caribbean Highway was to dock there tomorrow November 6th and unload Wednesday November 7th.....

Kumiko.digital - congratulations! The ship is unloading right now. Then to the VDC before it is on the way to the dealer. We are also discussing this in the "R56 week 42 discussion" group thread since this thread is not used much. Check out the other thread and tell us about your Mini.
A fellow Texan I see!
