Hey everyone! I got bumped off the Trinidad as well ! I am re-booked on the Carmen, however. Man, I sound like the travel agent that I am, huh? Anyways, I don't know why I got bumped off the Trinidad because there was no asterik next to my vin, but whatever . What does one day matter in the sceme of things, huh??

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Hurricanes

My K-Line ship is suppose to arrive in South Carolina this Tuesday....about the same time Jeanne, the new hurricane arrives .. Then there's another one behind it named Karl.....enough already. I just want my baby safe and sound. Do Minis float like the old VWs did? :smile:

Of those booked, they were all received at the terminal today. I hope someone over in Southampton didn't pull a gone in 60 seconds move with a whole shipment of MINIs! Now that would truly be a blow to those of us waiting.

On the bright side, maybe those of us booked on the Freedom were able to hitch a ride on an earlier boat.

I'm just confused, has this happened to anybody else?
McCasper,
I am in the same "boat" :smile: , so to speak. I also had shown up as waiting for the Freedom, but now do not show up at all . My guess is all the people getting bumped from the Trinidad is causing a ripple effect through the system. I am not getting too worried yet...

There were over 100 MINIs bumped from the Patriot. My MINI waited 6 days for a boat, so they probably are stock piled at the dock all patiently waiting.

Yes indeed, today is THE day! My MCS - and many more (likely from the wait-list group on the Trinidad) - now show up as "Loaded On Vessel" (Carmen) at the WW site!

dwr1004, I'm not too worried either as I'm sure our MINIs will show up. I just hope the British equivalent of Oprah didn't decide to give away a whole bunch of MINIs which just happened to be sitting at the dock. Now that would suck!

I guess it could be worse, I just noticed one of the cars on the Carmen with the following status history:
LOADED ON VESSEL ... 10:23
WITHDRAWN FROM VESSEL ... 12:24
EXPORT UNIT ON HOLD ... 12:24

Now what's that all about? Doesn't sound good at all, kind of like getting picked by the customs agent for a full cavity search after getting back from Amsterdam .

Mine UNLOADED 3 days ago but the WW site still only has the LOADED ON VESSEL listed. Anyone know if they ever update to Unloaded or is that the end of the WW messages? Should be in the VPC by now.

Nope, right there with you AppleCello with the exception that my vin no longer shows up in WW system. I now get the dreaded: No tracking information is available for the Cargo ID you entered.

It looks like the Carmen has definitely sailed but if you look by booking number, a good amount of the MINIs listed do not say loaded on vessel.

I'm just as confused as ever. I'll just have to have a few Captian and Cokes and look at it in the morning.

My vin is coming up on the WW site as: loaded on vessel. As I can see from other people's experiences, that does not mean that my mini is definitely on the ship. OL showing as waiting for transport.



Any way I can know for sure?? Lois, where is that prozac???

It's gone Noa, if it says loaded on vessel that's a pretty good sign that your MINI is on it's way. Unless the bomb/drug sniffing dogs smell something & they yank it off like that other poor MINI My poor MINI is heading for hurricane alley-hope she doesn't get tossed around too much

Yeah, I'm beside myself, and this is my second MINI. You give an EDD. How do you know that, or are you guessing?

My car has disappeared off the WW website too, it was there yesterday booked on the Freedom. Now, there is no info when I put in its vin #. Has anyones car reappeared after disappearing off the website? Does this mean it has been bumped? If it was on another ship coming this way, would it show up on the WW website?

kelly,

It may have been bumped But it should show up again soon. Although I found that the WW site is a little slow updating over the weekend Good luck with your MINI. Mine is taking Dramamine about now

Well I made in on the "Carmen" with almost all of the Bumped "Trinidad" MINIs. I see there are a few that seem to have fallen into the unusual catagory of "ON HOLD". fortunatly mine made it. Unfortunatly the group of ships that included the Carmen does not include the automated weather reporting gear the makes it so easy to track these ships, so we will just have to hope that the radio operator gets board occasionally and calls in a report.

In any case folks, IT WON"T BE LONG NOW!!!

Drive Safe

If anyone happens to see Carmen on the weather tracking site, grab a screen shot and post it! I will be keeping my eyes peeled.

Good Karma as long as your other mini is still running in tip top shape at this point!

Patrick - I hate to be the one to pop the bubble, but that date on that location for the carmen is just a little old. I think since it just left southhampton we can assume it is a bit closer to England that that chart would have us believe.
