I'm with you, brother. But just think, we're running two days ahead of the Manon, which is supposed to arrive on 10/15. That puts us into port on 10/13... a day early!

No, it crosses on the 5th.

I must've missed something. How exactly do we see it going through? Is there a webcam somewhere?

Hmmm... I guess the scheduled slot is guaranteed but the ship can go early if there's another open slot.

We can just pretend that joonsup got the right pic. If not, so what? Our boat should arrive TWO days early, kids!

After all this time I still havent spoken with my CA since mid August to confirm my car is on this ship. haha. If i find out that it got delayed and somehow got on a ship that's due to arrive end of the month, there's gonna be some serious sh-t going down. j/k

Awesome. that's probably the best xmas gift you've gotten... unless you're paying for it yourself. then it's just a big hole in your wallet. haha. As for myself, this car is a "i'm tired of driving a pos" gift for myself. Granted it's gonna cost me monthly, but my dream of driving a bmw is coming earlier than i thought.

Did you call the 800 number a couple weeks back and notice when your car went to "in transit" status? That should give you a pretty good idea which boat it's on.
