My MINI was on the Madame Butterfly's December trip. FYI, the MB never appeared on the sailwx site. I kept a log and it averaged about 16 kts on the voyage. Watch the aislive site because it made its arrivals pretty much on schedule. The MB had a stop at Halifax, NS on the December voyage. It took 23 hours to transition the canal from the time it departed Manzanillo. Remember aislive has about 1 to 1.25 hour delay on its displayed position.

 

Me, me, ME!!!!!

I'm guessing I have the same departure day as you.
I ordered mine on 3/2.

 

when you goes into the cargo status. click the number behind "Voyage"..you will know the schedule for this vessel...my voyage # is:ED811-MBU

 

Yup, our cars are shipmates!
ED811-MBU

 

Mine as well! This wait is killing me, especially knowing my Mini is just sitting in some shipyard.

 

yeah,me too...its really killing me~!!! still have a long time to wait..

 

Did you know there are two Madame Butterfly ED811-MBU threads?

Make sure there is no asterisk* next to your vin# or you might be bumped

Good luck

 

The MB is now departing Zeebrugge enroute to Southampton to pick up your babies.

 

Me too...MB is expected to arrive in CA on 4/11/08. I'm here in Las Vegas so I assume it might be 4-7 days after that before I finally have my MINI.
Argh!!

 

I have checked the AIS live site and the AIS Liverpool site and they both show the Madame Butterfly still in port??!!!?? Does anyone know what is going on. It was already delayed one day before Southampton now it looks like another day will be added to the voyage.

As it stands I am looking at an 8 week process for delivery, minimum (maybe 9-10 weeks)! I hope none of you go through a lengthy delivery b/c it will drain you!! I placed my order on 2/26. Now that it's coming on a month, my excitement is starting to waiver. I am half tempted to go to my closest dealer and pick one up off the lot!

I know, I know, I am just whining. But really, I was supposed to be on the Trianon. After another 11 days I am finally loaded on the MB and it just won't leave port! Is karma biting me in the A@@?

Anyone have any good news for me??

 

still nothing sounds good...its still in the port..

 

That's strange cause the ww site shows something different. According to it, MB has already sailed.

minicooperlitos . . . . I hope you are right. Unfortunately, I think what happened is the ship is full and it has left the MINI loading area. It is now in another port just west of MINI loading area. I have no idea what it is doing there but there it sits. I believe it is loading up another car manufacturer. It has been there since yesterday. Right after the MINI dock it moved over to the dock where it is currently.

Does anyone have a clue what else it is picking up??

 

It is now in another port just west of MINI loading area.

what the he@@ is going on???

 

I just phoned my salesman. He confirmed that the MB left "port" on the 23rd. However, he said it was now do in Port hueneme on the 15th, not the 11th.

 

looking more like the 22nd now instead :(

 

This is driving me nuts!!!

 

My information says Monday, the 21st.
