were you able to find out that you were on the Don Juan on the WW website or through your MA? I am hoping to make the DJ, but as of yet my VIN gives no info on their website.
Congrats on making the DJ..... you'll have your car in no time!

Oh, the next ship doesn't leave until 8/12 according to the WW site. That might be better for you - I think it arrives 9/4 in Hueneme. I really need to get mine as quickly as possible - I'm using a balance transfer check from Chase and I need to use it before it expires (3% for the life of the balance, $200 processing fee) since interest rates might be going up soon. Also, this way I'll get the title right away instead of the bank!
As well Im on the Aida coming my way too bad i cant pick it up at the receiving facility I can go see it come off the boat but have to drive 70 miles to pick it up!

Can you write the check in your name, cash it, and bank the amount until you pick up the Mini? That way the Dealer only sees it as cash from you...

Yes, there's another forum regarding financing that I've been checking out. When I mentioned my plan they said a few people had used balance transfer checks with no problem but a couple of dealers wouldn't release the vehicle until it had cleared (up to 10 days - not acceptable).
So ... I went back read the package and it says I can deposit it to my bank account (no extra fees/charges) but again I have to wait for the check to clear before I can use it. I figure I'll deposit it in a couple of weeks and it should be cleared by the time my baby is ready for pick-up. Then I think I'll just get a cashiers' check. That way no delay for sure!
I can't stand to wait another second longer than I have to. My poor MA is probably going to get real tired of me cause I'm going to be calling everyday after it arrives to find when, when, when ...
I think the AIDA left port. I was checking marinetraffic.com and they have already posted their ETA to Panama 8/10 0500 (ahead of schedule!).

In a similar situation as you here. Ordered my Clubman S on 7/5, completed 7/25, at the port on 7/28 - still no confirmation it's on the Don Juan. Sure hope I don't have to wait till next ship!!!

I hope everyone who's been "hanging out in port" got a ride aboard the AIDA. If not, I hope the next ship is not far behind!

You might not catch the Don Juan. I was at the port on the 26th hoping for this ship, however this is the first ship going to the port of NY in 10 days so I am sure there are a lot of MINI's that are in line ahead of us.

Looks like we will be shipmates! I was hoping that i'd make the don juan, but i just saw that i am booked on the Integrity.....

Cool! I've got a thread going too, showing the progress of the Aida. Nice way to keep track of her whereabouts!
