Toscana!

For those of you booked for this vessel (apparently scheduled to depart today), here she is right now for your viewing enjoyment:

Cargo doors still open at the moment, it appears.

My F80 is on this, so i'll be tracking her religiously

Congrats! Very jealous right now... Looks like I'll be waiting for Independence II next week as I did not get booked for Toscana despite being at port May 18th

That's interesting, actually, because I dropped my car off in Munich on May 16th, and it shows that she was booked on the 20th and received at the terminal yesterday, the 25th.

No clue how and why it works the way it does. I hope yours gets on a vessel shortly!

Her cargo bay doors are now shut! Pushing off soon, i'd think?

Man, this is going to be BAD.....having this level of technology to feed the OCD beast.

I know the sticky on the thread says to simply call your dealer for the ship's name. Is that indeed what you did?

I have a feeling I missed the Toscana and will be on Independence II, as well. I dropped in Nice on May 21. I suppose it was wishful thinking I would've gotten out yet in May!

No, I am woefully impatient when it comes to that

I used the links in the tracking thread with my VIN to see that I was on the Toscana and then kept an eye on the port webcams to watch (obsess) its progress.

I literally just got an email from the site that let me know the ship just left port

I guess you're the lucky bastard now.....

Incidentally, she's just outside of her second port of call, Gothenburg Sweden. Doing about 13.7 knots.....

I'll be interested in how long it takes you to get your car. My car will essentially have the same trip.

My drop off is July 20th and hoping to get it before the end of August.

Realistically, I am hoping to get the car by the end of June. Arrival in port on the 10th, giving it some time to clear customs, travel to the dealership, and get re-prepped. Realistically, end of June sounds about right building in some leeway.

I think many people think the car should be ready to be picked up within a day or two that it hits port...lol. I don't think that's realistic.

I think your timeline is pretty good...end of August sounds right, provided it gets to the port and on board a ship quickly. If it sits at port for a couple weeks, maybe not.

I agree. Honestly if I could have had my first choice of vacation time, I would have shifted my whole trip up 1-2 weeks. Serious first world problem though.

If I remember when I ordered my 335, I took delivery about a week after it arrived at port. I'd expect week of June 17 would be realistic.

The online order status and automated response 1-800 number still say car is waiting for vessel. Was a bit sad, thought that I missed the boat. Then decided to call the 1-800 number again and asked to speak to a human being and they confirmed mine is on the Toscana.

Boat has estimated arrival in Jersey June 10 +/- a couple of days.

It probably won't be - a couple of days. I can definitely see delays, though.

What if it was a ED? I would think there's less prep.
