You can always pass the time by plotting the ship's progress on a map...

I'd say the 800 number is the closest you can get, accuracy wise, to current status. It's usually about 3 days behind. The OC website is much more delayed than that.
Of course if you're already on a ship, then the schedule from the shipping company and/or port will give you some pretty accurate information. Once it's off the ship and on land again, the dealer is pretty much your only way to know what's going on...
