Anyone else on the Titania?

After nearly two long weeks of just sitting at the port at Bremerhaven, they've finally loaded up my car on the Wallenius Wilhemsen Titania bound for Port Hueneme, CA.

I know many other have waiting much longer than me to get their cars but I was too excited not to share

Anyone else on Titania?

Looks like our cars were produced at the same time and going to the same part of the country. Pretty cool!

That is the first thing I will do is walk to my car and look at the tires. I am seriously optimistic about it.

Titania has just left Brussels and is steaming toward her next stop of Bristol, England! It's going to be a L O N G couple of weeks until she hits the US west coast in CA.

From Panama to California the longest stretch.

It's going to be a very happy new year.

Actually, Bristol to Panama is longer, 12 days.
Panama to Hueneme is 9 days.
WW has updated ETA to CA as Dec 16 now. It's good if we get thru canal on Dec 7, as Port Manzanillo is closed on Dec 8 (Mother's Day).

I will have to look at the map again

This is all taking long enough but worth it

Great news: The Titania is FINALLY showing back up on MarineTraffic.com and she's approaching the Panama Canal!

If I buy an M2 (uncertain) and if I were to do ED, I would drop it off in Geneva, which is not far from where I spend time in Burgundy, France, a couple of times each year.

Where was the drop off point, and how much aggravation was involved? How did you get where you were going (airport, hotel, etc.) once you dropped off the car?

Thanks!

You could always see it on MarineTraffic... just drag the map to the approximate spot where you think it should be & it will be the only ship visible. It will be listed as 'cargo vessel'.

Now THATs cool! I half wish my ship was going through the canal just to get a good shot of it like that. Instead I'm stuck watching the little green triangle move across the Atlantic...
