Nice boat

This is the Isolde, not the Aida, honest. (But it's darned difficult to tell the difference unless you read the name) Taken at Southampton 9:45am Sunday 28th July

I´ll print and show Isolde to my ONE..
mybe he recognizes her again

jlivingood · Jul 30th, 2002, 03:59 PM

If anyone shows with their car on board the Isolde or booked for it, please post your booking ID #. If you get a bill of lading # please post that too.

Thanks!
Jason

513 cars made it onto the Aida with deliveries split between Canada and the US. Isolde arrives a day earlier in NY (August 5) and is heading directly to the US - so that the load of perhaps 500+ MINIs will all be for US deliveries.

jlivingood · Jul 30th, 2002, 04:02 PM

The call sign for the Isolde is 9V5544. It was built in 1985 and flies the flag of Singapore. It can carry up to 5,290 cars! And it was last inspected by the US Coast Guard on April 3, 2002.

More pics (not as recent as eBrit's though!!):

Jason ,the booking # is GBSOU88327A for the Isolde . I hope that last picture of it leaving port is not without our mini's like the Aida did . It is for 522 Mini's , none of which show loaded as of now . My Mini was also skipped and now might be, could be on the Isolde, who knows not WW by the looks of things .

Thanks for the info. Gave me a start and I have figured out the following booking #s for Isolde. Since Aida left before and just updated with "loaded on vessel" today, I am thinking the system may be up to date tomorrow afternoon (close of business, UK time).

GBSOU88327A - 1 car

GBSOU85206D - 7 cars

GBSOU85206E - 51 cars -- some showing LOADED ON VESSEL

GBSOU88296B - 1 car

GBSOU88327A - 522 cars as you noted

582 potential cars... Now we get to see who really was loaded onto the boat!

I'm in the same booking group as qwik which is, as has been noted, GBSOU8827A. None of those cars have been listed as "loaded on vessel" yet, unless WW has changed that over the past hour or so. I'm not holding my breath since I got WAY too excited about the Aida, just to have that joy dashed on the rocks. What a great picture eBrit shared with the Samaratan ad! I'm praying that we're all on the Isolde especially since it docks in NY a day ahead of the Aida.

Lizzybobio · Jul 31st, 2002, 07:46 AM

Booking Number: GBSOU88327A Bill Number:
Vessel: ISOLDE

Status Port Time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm)
LOADED ON VESSEL SOUTHAMPTON 29/07/2002 00:00

bassplayer · Jul 31st, 2002, 08:47 AM

Lizzy,
You are lucky. Mine still has the same dang information - "booked" and "received at terminal". Maybe they haven't gotten to the MINIs yet and are doing the S's. What are those of you that are "loaded on vessel"? When did you arrive at the dock?

jlivingood · Jul 31st, 2002, 09:43 AM

Viva La Isolde!

After sitting in port for nearly one full month, missing the Takasago and the Aida, I have FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY been loaded on the Isolde! I am elated! I checked my car on the WW site this morning and it shows my updated status as loaded on vessel. I had to do a double-take since I did not believe it at first!

Proof:

Jason

PS - For those of you that missed the boat, hang in there. I've been in your exact position and it is not fun.

bassplayer · Jul 31st, 2002, 10:23 AM

That's great for you Jason!!! I really am very happy for you. I just hope (beyond hope?) that they just haven't finished updating the page and I'm still on the Isolde. I sent them an email a few minutes ago asking for status. I did a random sample of those that show loaded, and I have been at the dock longer than all those I checked. I've been there since the 19th, and all the one's I'd checked were received at terminal on the 23rd. I don't mind waiting, if all those from the 19th forward are still waiting - but that's not the case as you know better than most.

I don't think they're done yet. The Aida only completely updated it's load yesterday and they left two days before Isolde. I'd give it 24 hours. I do recall that a bunch of updates showed up for Aida yesterday around end-of-day, UK time.

What is your booking #?

Jason

jlivingood · Jul 31st, 2002, 11:18 AM

Big thumbs down on this one!! Just got this email from a contact at WW - from customer service:
----------------------
Good afternoon,
with regard to your inquiry we have been advised by BMW to no longer provide information regarding the shipment of Minis. BMW have stated that all inquiries are to be dealt with by logging onto www.bmwna.com of by contacting your local BMW dealership.

Sorry we cannot be of further assistance

Looks like another new booking number has been created for 443 cars destined for the Hudson Leader - GBSOU88327B. The old one (GBSOU88327A) now only lists the 79 cars that were loaded on the ISOLDE. I guess I've been bumped.

Chris

edit because the website updated again...

bassplayer · Jul 31st, 2002, 11:40 AM

Well, it looks like at this stage of the game, I'm with you on the Hudson Leader - At least I know how to pronounce that one! I'm still not holding my breath.

Problem is that the bmwna.com web site does not exist. Good customer relations move.

I think it is fair infer that what the WW employee in the UK was trying to say was to contact the car company. In this case it would be MINIUSA.COM or the tollfree number 1-866-275-6464.

bassplayer · Jul 31st, 2002, 11:51 AM

Jason and all, my booking number is now GBSOU88327B and is scheduled for the Hudson Leader. It's supposed to get into port tomorrow and I just hope and pray that I'll get on that one.
