I'm hoping

 

Keep your fingers crossed mslatter....Mine are.

 

The current schedule shows the Figaro in Southampton (which I pronounce "Soufampin, guvna") on Friday, the 18th, not the 17th.

Still due in NY on the 26th, though. The Fedora is afterward, but doesn't get to NY until the 31st. If you miss both, you might be on the Don Juan which gets to NY on Aug 7th.

I was booked on the Otello, but it appears it left without me.

 

Looks like I am, and several others are, on the Fedora, not the Figaro.

 

I got bumped from Otello. Booked on Fedora after that and now I am showing booked on Figaro.

Hopefully this will stick and we will gain back most of the time lost from the Otello bump. Figaro does not go to Nova Scotia which cuts two days off of the voyage. Good deal

 

Me, too! This car's been passed around more than a skinny guy in prison.

 

And just to get this in so that someone can get screen grabs if I'm not free when she sets sail:

Webcam of The Solent (someone try to get a screen cap of the ship!)
The two lines pointing upward from "Ryde" show the webcam's viewing area. Southhampton is off the screen, to the Northwest, about a screen's worth of scrolling.

Can one of you guys post a booking number for the Figaro so I can see if my car makes it on? I read in one of the posts that the searching by VIN doesn't always work. My MCS went into production July 1 and has been sitting at port since the 11th!

 

The booking number to NY is GBSOU659386

 

Thanks. It didn't show up on there, so I guess the waiting game continues....

 

Woot! My boy is on the Figaro

 

Weird. You're seeing it on the WW site, but with no booking information, just that it arrived at port? The Figaro's NY booking has something 212 cars, and they all seemed to have arrived at port between the 14th and the 17th.

I bet some dock worker is just driving your car around and around and around, getting coffee for the crew.... getting hot dogs from the meal truck.... picking up dry cleaning....

Call your MA and see if you can learn more!

 

I'm on the Figaro also !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah !!!!!!!!!

 

I'm on the Figaro also! Anyone from the tri-state area here? Anyone get their Mini from Prestige Mini in NJ?

 

I'm booked on the Figaro as well.
Completed production 7/16, got to the port 7/17 and booked on this ship. My Mini is coming to Towne Mini in Buffalo NY

 

I was originally slated to be on the Fedora, and now I'm also on the Figaro...go figure. I'm not going to complain though, they're getting the cars out faster than expected....this means it lands 5 days earlier in NYC, which means you'll get the car almost a week earlier.

 

Yep, I am in Putnam County near the Connecticut line. I ordered from MINI of Fairfield County. A bit easier to get to for service from my home and about 5 minutes from the office.

The waiting is absolutely killing me. Only NAM is keeping me sane.

 

She's at the dock.

 

My cargo tracking just changed to "Loaded on Vessel." Woot! I got a ride!

 

She's left port, so if you're not on board, sorry!

 

I get first dibbs on shuffleboard!


MSlatter - Where did you get that tracker from btw ?

 

Though it's been days of nail-biting and head-scratching, I'm happy to say Figaro is on the way to NYC.

My booking number shows 256 MINIs on the way to NYC on Figaro. That's a nice round number - seeing as I'm a computer engineer.

Now we wait or maybe it's !

Cheers

P.S. Attached is a screenshot of FIGARO passing the Isle of Wight, on the way to NYC with all 256 of our MINIs on board! See you all in Jersey City!

 

I'm on board......

 

There she goes! I got a couple screen caps as she passed by The Solent's web cam.
