Wow, I am too!

Thanks for the nudge, Jackie. The wait's been so excruciating I was afraid to check, but glad I did.

Guess now I need to actually start cleaning out the garage! It's really happening...

Cheers, all.

I am on the Theben as well!! I'm so glad it's a WW boat so we can actually track each step.

I don't think so, just from the layout.

WW track and trace:

Plug your VIN into the last box on the right.

Update: Tugs are alongside the Theben now, presumably to assist it departing from Zeebrugge to head to Southampton on schedule.

The Theben has departed Southampton and is on its way to Halifax. Of that 8 day trip I think about 6 days will be out of range of the land based tracking system.

What the hell am I going to do?

The Theben is now passing through the Azores.

Does anyone know why this route would be used? It doesn't seem that direct. Something to do with ocean currents?

That is strange. I wonder if that's why my CA told me that his system is showing that the M2 won't arrive at port till 12/23 instead of 12/21.

The WW website now indicates that the Theben will arrive in Halifax one day late (12/20) and at NY on 12/22, also one day late.

Update on 12/19:

The Theban is now shown as arriving in Halfax on 12/21, two days late.



Edit: And it will also be two days late on its NY arrival, now scheduled for 12/23.

Just in time to not be delivered to Westchester by Christmas.

That's frustrating! I was hoping to get mine before the New Year but my SA now thinks it won't be delivered until the first week of January.

Do you know the cause of the delay?

Just guessing, but it may have been a weather related route change that took the Theben on a longer course through the Azores.

Anyone?

Looks like another delay.... WW website shows that the ETA is now 12/24. These delays are getting old. And I'm sure no one will be processing cars on the 25th and 26th.

Yup I was thinking the same thing, but I'm trying to accept now that it will be the week after, which is annoying.
