Well, the operation in Texas was great:
Ship moored on 11/8 evening
Car unloaded 11/9 AM
Customs cleared 11/10
Car arrived at dealer 11/11
Picking up tomorrow
It's not often in life that you can say this and mean it, literally, but...
my ship has come in.
Congrats John. You will have your own Mr. Blau very soon! Ironically, my boat docked about an hour ago, only 4 days late. The Adriatic Highway pulled in about 2 hours before my boat, which makes Davisville pretty busy right now. 2 boats full of cars to unload at the same time.
A bit off topic, but related to tracking. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the deal tracking screen works? My screen has a planned date and fixed date but they are off quite a bit, what do they mean?
It was exactly a week for me from offloading in San Diego to delivery to dealer. Frustrating that the process between port and release to truck is completely opaque but it'll be over soon.
For those on Glovis Champion. It looks like cars are finishing up with the PDI and should be heading to dealers in the next day or two. I just got confirmation from my dealer.

My dealer has no idea what is happening with the Crystal Ace in Davisville. They said its a black hole between the time the boat arrives, and the time the car shows up at the dealership. Do any RLers know? Worldattorney, have you heard anything about the Honeymooner mobile?
Obviously I was on a different boat but I will say that I was pinging the dealer after it had gotten into port and even after it left. As far as I know they did not show it as in port until the last day or so. The boat came in last Thursday early morning and left early Saturday morning. So it was about 4 business days for the dealer to know that it was coming soon. It seems like about 5 business days from port arrival to heading out to the dealer is about the norm.

Unloaded last Thurs, yes? So the SoCal trend seems to be 7 days port to dealer?
As far as I know, yes. Boat made it to the dock on 11/12 at 3:00 AM. So my assumption was that it was unloaded later that morning. Assuming the "next day or two" from dealer today would be this Thursday or 7 days, port to dealer. I'm watching your boat on the tracker but it's going to be too dark to get a picture by the time it's close enough.
