While it does at first glance look like they missed the port, the reality is likely something a lot less interesting. They were probably told to kill some time before they could dock at the port due to a limited number of docks for large ship like this. The same way a flight has to circle before it can land or wait for a takeoff slot, ships are no different. Halifax is a busy port so that isn't a surprise.

Haha, mine too!!

I tried entering my VIN into that form that pikcachu linked, but no records were found. Probably takes a few days to get onto the shipping manifest or whatever.

Hmm. Mine finished 4/4. The 800 number today said it's on the way to port of exit. But I know that might not be quite up to date. Dealer didn't have any boat name as of yesterday. Would be sweet to get on the one leaving tomorrow, but if not, probably the one on the 12th. Fingers crossed though.

I was hoping I made it on Talisman, but so far I've got nothing. 800 said waiting at port. Dealer says he's got the same. Nothing searching the vin on their site.

800 number says mine's being transported to the port of exit, so I guess I'm a little behind you guys. Someone tell that driver to step on it!

ya it needs to be at the port about a week ahead of the departure for all the paperwork, else it won't make it to that ship...... mine was at the port around the March 24th.... and left Apr 7th

It's still about a month away anyway cause it's coming to the west coast...

Geez, this is painful. The lady that I spoke to on the 800 number the other day told me 4-5 days was the longest she'd ever seen one be at port ......

I can't take it anymore!
