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

It's a nice touch when you can also review the order on line, to make sure your CA did not screw up.

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...
