Google says I could drive to Brunswick in 5.5 hours. MA says 4-7 days Brunswick to the dealer. Too bad there's no such thing as VDC pick-up. Actually, while I'm anxious, part of the fun is the anticipation so... it's all good.

 

Brunswick? Aren't they docking at Charleston, SC, anymore?

 

Ships do go to Charleston, but Brunswick is our stop.

 

That would be nice

 

I am hoping I can get it during the week of the 11th.

 

Well here is a major surprise. After daily plugging my VIN into Track & Trace with no results, I decided for the heck of it to check the Owner's Lounge and low and behold it has me as En Route! What!!! So talked to a human and I'm on the Grand Duke, due in port Brunswick next week!!!

 

Owners lounge data is terrible in terms of being up to date.

I'm on a ship that departed 7/15. OL still shows awaiting transport.

 

Yeah, that's the major surprise part. I knew the OL is way late so when I saw En Route, I thought "What the heck, how long have I been en route?" I've received nothing but No Records Found on the Track & Trace. Others showed up on Grand Duke through Track & Trace so I don't know why my VIN doesn't show up. But using my production number, they said I'm on the ol' Grand Duke, so.... ok!

 

Con grads....When did the Grand Duke leave port? Wonder if my mini is on it as well, but no update in the OL, automated call, or track & track.

 

Congrats. Do you have the booking number for the Grand Duke? I hope I am on a ship this weekend.....

 

What is your build date?

 

Grand Duke left Southampton on 7/14. I was not even checking the OL, just the Track & Trace (which has never shown anything). I only checked the OL today to double-check my VIN and lo and behold.... "en route." I called MINI and talked to someone to find out when it left and what vessel. Give'em a call and talk to a human.


Sorry, I didn't think to get a booking number from MINI. There must be more than one because I looked at every VIN on the list for the booking number earlier in this thread that had Grand Duke folks - and I wasn't on that one. So Track & Trace and that particular booking number were useless for me. Now I just hope it's not some grand mix-up. Have you called MINI and talked to a human recently? If I'm already out, you must be either with me or on the next ship.

 

After talking with an Human at Mini USA. I have been giving a load assignment; however they can not see yet which ship I am on. So hopefully this weekend I will know

 

I don't know what Fremantle Highway is doing. They were in Germany, then left, then went back, then went to Southampton. It left Southampton today, but is on its way back to Germany again. According to the K-Line schedule, the east coast is part of its loop, but apparently in no particular order. Maybe you're on that one and it hasn't updated since it just left not all that long ago.

 

Columbia Highway is schedule to dock in Southampton on Friday and leave for our shores after that. There is also 2 other ships schedule for this weekend

 

The Toronto arrives in Baltimore tomorrow!!!

I feel so bad for everyone who's still in England :(

 

Hopefully we will leave the England shores this weekend

 

Has anyone got a booking number for any of the ships leaving this weekend. I am seating and waiting to load and don't know anything new. It am frustrate!!

 

My car is at the VDC and estimated to arrive at the dealer on the 24th...It's SO CLOSE!

 

Now it looks like the Columbia Highway is not going to North America but back to the North Sea. I still cannot get a tracking. Hopefully I will be on a ship soon

 

K-line schedule doesn't seem to be particularly helpful. Fremantle Highway has been bouncing back and forth between Germany and Southampton too instead of coming to North America.

This is your weekend! Maybe you're being put on WWs Aida as we speak.

 

Does anyone know...once the car reaches the destination port (mine is port hueneme, ca), how long it is in port until it gets released to dealer? My dealer is crevier in Santa Ana which is close to the port.

 

It can vary, but if all goes well, the car should be at your dealer within 3 to 5 days.

 

Has anyone being able to track and trace their cars this weekend that were cars that have been on the dock ready to load. This past weekend 3 ships were suppose to dock in Southampton and then go to North America. One did Aida, Columbia Highway did dock and left but then went back to the North Sea in the other direction and Honor has not left their current port and suppose to dock in Southampton today which look like it will not make it today. I have been seating on dock ready to load since July 9. Who knows maybe I am on ship but it does show in this link https://offices.2wglobal.com/offices...ckSearchResult Yet

 

The K-line schedule seems a mess. Fremantle Highway is going to Egypt now it seems, but on the schedule it's supposed be a North America loop. As you said, Columbia Highway that is supposed to be on it's way is actually back in port in Zeebrugge again. Looks like next in line is Honor, but their schedule now says Southampton on 7/23 - Brunswick on 8/8. Frustrating. It seems like ships are few and far between lately.
