    It's worse because now there won't be any updates as the boat doesn't reach next port until the end of this month!

      It should be ok for the next ~20 days until it gets to East London and Durban. It most probably won't be that far off the coast of SA that it won't show up on the tracking side. But once it leaves Durban and heads to Perth, it'll basically be off the radar for 10 days! *eek!*

          I predict you will have a boat by next week Just not this one



          My VIN didn't produce anything for at least 10 days from when I received confirmation.

            Haha yeah, give that ship a miss.

            As much as i want it to go on a boat, i don't particularly want it on the Torino which is the next ship to leave, leaves before the Boheme but arrives 15 days later !!

            • Given the speed that the Morning Camilla has been going at, I am having trouble actually believing it's going to take 16 days of solid cruising to get to South Africa (seeing as there are no stops on the way).
              I wonder if there's a couple of days of fat in that travel time ? Maybe we might get an early arrival ?
              Gee it must be boring on that ship all that time - I suppose the crew could always take a few golf's for a burn around the deck to break the boredom !

                I thought our builds happened on the same day?

                That'd be nice, but they're probably allowing for weather etc?

                  Pretty much, from memory yours was week 40 day 1, mine was week 40 day 2. Hence my dismay.

                    I'd say that there is always some "fat" calculated in.
                    They could lose a generator on the ship and have to slow down whilst it is repaired or replaced. They could get a vibration in the engine and need to shut off a cylinder (seriously, both of these happened during the one voyage during the filming of the Emma Maersk episode of Mighty Ships. They could reach a storm and either have to navigate around it or stop and wait for it to pass (and storms at sea can last for a few days!) So yeah, I'd say there are a few days of fat there.

                    • My ship turned up at it's final port a day earlier than scheduled
                      It also turned up at 6 or 7am, so maybe more than 24hrs faster?

                        If it's any consolation, you make up time sorta being in WA and not waiting for the journey to VIC/NSW...

                          Unfortunately not if it gets put on the Torino, it goes to the eastarn states first and Fremantle is it's last stop.
