What's everybody else's final leg look like?

When I spoke to a person at 866-ASK-MINI on Friday afternoon, they said it was on the boat and now the computer voice there and MINIUSA show enroute,,, only seems like WW is not in sync. The whole cargo tracking system was not working this morning :impatient

Looks like there may be a couple of options for those expecting to see "en-route" at the end of last week.

Well, I guess I'm not on the freedom after all. I just checked the WW website and it shows me booked for the Patriot scheduled to leave on April 30 and arrive in SC on May 13. That seems forever far away for me. I thought I was on the freedom even though I didn't say booked because both askMINI and the owner's lounge changed status on the day the freedom left. I guess I was wrong! 
I'm very sad because I want my MINI and I want it now. It's been sitting at the port since April 13 and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere 
I guess I don't get to be in the Booked on the Freedom group anymore! No more shuffleboard for my baby!

OK, the bad new is I'm not on the Freedom with all of you (although I guess all of you are not really on the Freedom like we originially thought...maybe we should call this the I'm not sure where I am but I'm on the way! thread) The good news is that I talked to my MA and I am on a boat on an unspecified carrier crossing the ocean due to be in SC on May 1. Woohoo! Calling the dealer is definitely the way to go.

MA had all the info, includin the "Bill of Lading" which doesn't track on WW. Apparently we're on a different shipping system?
He didn't know the name of the boat... so I guess no ocean tracking for us...
But it's on it's way!

where's my baby?!
PW/B MINI finished April 15, on The Freedom April 21. I had a blast waiting for my MCS in February, but now I get to do it all over again watching my wife's MINI sail to the U.S.
May 7 seems so far away, but really next week is May already.

Kline website does allow tracking of RO/RO ships.

Time to shift the emphasis to arrival tracking...
Port of Charleston is showing expected arrival as follows
Freedom 5/7
Emden 5/3
For those wanting to, you can go to http://www.port-of-charleston.com/ and select vessel schedule to look at all ships due in the next 30 days.
Even though I got bumped from the Freedom to the Emden and cant track the ship, I wil take arrival 4 days early instead. I was thinking I could pick-up my car two weeks from today, but at this rate, it is looking it could be a few days early.
