Yeah, just found that myself...I like how you conveniently left out Integrity's arrival date

Got on a Ship!! WW site says my baby is loaded on the Artemis Leader bound for Port Hueneme, due in on July 3rd. There seems to be a lot of ships leaving Southampton these days.

Congrats!

My car just arrived at Bremerhaven today. I am looking through Wikipedia to see what dance is appropriate to get the car on the Tiger this Friday. Hoping the ship isn't booked.

Mine is headed to Port Hueneme as well.

It looks like my Clubman will be spending a few more days in the UK.
Ugh. That sucks. I wonder if it was just overbooked? At least you have a number of ships coming in the next few days. Bremerhaven seems to only have 2 per month going to the left coast.

The good news (if you can call it that) is that once you get bounced off a boat, you have priority for the next one. It happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

The Wait is KILLING me!
I ordered my Countryman AWD on 5/31, recieved a Production Number on 5/4, was told by MINI Customer Sevice it began production on 5/10, with a completion expected 5/19. I STILL cannot log into the Owner's Lounge. Did anyone else have an issue with the program being delayed?

See if your MA can help you get into the owner's lounge. I ordered on a Saturday and by Sunday, could log in.

Hi everyone, my clubby just arrived at the Southampton dock yesterday (Mon) according to askMINI. I guess I just missed getting on the Mignon which left at 1am Mon morning. Missed it by that much!

For delivery to Brunswick, GA port it looks like the next ship is the Don Juan which arrives and departs next Sunday night the 16th. Then it arrives at Brunswick on July 7. Looks like I've got quite a bit of waiting still to endure...

Anyone else delivering to Brunswick?

EVERYONE has an issue with the program being delayed.

Here's my example for the day (about an hour ago):
• The OL says my car is in the VDC at Baltimore.
• The automated system at 866-ASK-MINI says my car is awaiting shipment from Southampton.
• A real, live person at 866-ASK-MINI told me, after a little searching while I was on hold, that my car would be delivered to the dealer tomorrow.

So, see if your MA can help.

Parsifal (IMO: 9515395) - Leaves Southampton on June 18th, and arrives in Baltimore on June 27th. Voyage CF324-PSF.

Integrity (IMO: 8919934) - Leaves Southampton on June 21st, and arrives in Baltimore on July 13th. Voyage CB315-ITG.

Tarago (IMO: 9191321) - Leaves Southampton on June 24th, and arrives in Baltimore on July 2nd. Voyage: CF325-TGO

After the Tarago, there are no vehicle carrier cargo ships leaving until July. If the route is different, eg. Southampton to Charleston, or Southampton to NYC, then I have no idea. I didn't get enough sleep last night, and if I'm honest, I'm proud of myself for figuring out those schedules before I've even really gotten into my morning coffee.
I hope I get on the Parsifal.. Or if need be the Targo... Looks like the Integrity is taking the scenic route..lol..

I never drink coffee because it keeps me awake at work.
You guys are using the handy WW "Search by Port" function, right?

Still waiting but excited.

We had a R53 MCS back in 2006, but have been MINI-less since 2008 (had to trade-in for job needs). Our last car, Azzura, a 2012 Prius was just totaled in a car wreck May 26, which gave a great excuse to go back to MINI for a CM. Our MA found a dealer spec heading to New Jersey (6/6) on the WW Turandot that had everything we wanted, so we adopted it and now waiting for final US side transport. Although we didn't wait the full process like we did with our "Gianna" MCS, its still exciting to be going back to a MINI

Hoping we get to take her home this week. I can't wait to get our MINI wave back in daily routine as well.

Must be going around the tip of South Africa, across the Indian Ocean, the South Pacific, thru the Panama Canal, across the Gulf of Mexico and up the Atlantic.

My car is the same deal. ASK-MINI and Owner's Lounge both still say awaiting transport. The WW site says it loaded and sailed on Sunday/Monday.

I got bounced from my first ship and was loaded early in the day for the next one (a week later). They seem to be pretty good like that.

Been checking there but it hasn't updated since "scheduled for production". I think it's relatively useless. I have, however been watching a lot of the short video clips on the R56 since this is my first one of them. Some are actually useful.

And I'd bet $100 you get it before I get my CM on the west coast.
