Thanks for the info! It looks like I was just a little impatient and expecting WW to update its site over the weekend!! My MINI is going to sail on the FIDELIO which leaves tomorrow and should arrive in NYC on May 8!!! My MA said it would take about a week after that to get the car in PA!!! Anyone else joining me on the ship?? It looks like it also makes stops in Baltimore and Brunswick, GA....not SC though....

How exciting...our MINI's are starting to come off the line! I have to wait till Friday though. 
As you find out what ship you're on, please post it here. As information comes in I've been adding it to "the list". Once I start getting ships, I'll break it out by ship.
Here is what I have so far. I wish we could format tables in this forum...it would make the whole process a lot easier!

So... My Clubman (so far unnamed, possibly Swiss Miss or Choc-a-lot along with many other names) is in the body shop and should be completed within the next like 28 hours!!! (Since England is ahead of us time wise) this is getting intense!!!!

Bernard 1962,
Here are some dates for your table (Oh, how I wish I had a ship for you too - ASK-MINI still says "in the paint shop". I'm dyin' here!!)
My actual start of production date was April 22 -- was given April 30 as a completion date, but the guy on the phone today was a little waffley on that. Maybe they'll surprise me.

When I spoke with ASK-MINI yesterday, they said they were having problems with their system going down. Because of that, the information they give could be older then real time. I noticed a few times when I've checked the OL over the last couple of days, the site was down. (I can't remember the exact wording the page gave)

Update on possible ship sailing dates:
The Emden - Departing April 29, Arriving May 9
The Patriot - Departing May 3, Arriving May 17 **Updated Departure-was May 1**
The Tasco - Departing May 9, Arriving May 21
Looks like a couple more days for everyone to get on board. Personally I suspect they've figured out they have to order more alcohol for this wild bunch. Or maybe they're looking for the Rolls Royce

Hey there outofthebox,
While I'd like to take credit for the nice informational table...actually it is jearl who created it. . .
Q: is the birthdate of our cars the day they went into production or the day they are finished being built?

Holy Cow!
I just found the specs on this party ship that many of us will be on. The Patriot holds over 5000 party animals! Details here: http://www.wilhelmsen.com/services/s...MVPatriot.aspx
No wonder they are holding until they can get enough booze onboard!

Since he's in production, its not quite as bad... I think I'd be freaking out more if I was still sitting at the ON ORDER and then being prompted to log in later! Part of me was wishing that maybe it was because my status would be jumping to Awaiting Transport. (Maybe there information wasn't current and they were updating)

I've looked and looked, and there is no link to anything related to tracking. The lounge home page has a picture of a Mini, but only a link to "Upload your own photos".
Need help or better eyes....

Jearl---Great chart! My car started production on April 22. Does that still qualify me for Week 17? I was not sure how to determine production weeks, so I just counted weeks on the calendar!!!
