is anyone else having trouble with their ship?

When I had this problem, tech support told me to go back the the server I was on when this happened and try boarding the ship. It never worked for me, but I think they had taken down the server I was on in the time between when I had the problem and when I contacted tech support.

I came back into the game the next day and found everything working just fine again.

Best thing to do would be to go to every server and try boarding the ship, see if what tech support told me works.
If not... well, I don't know.

After over 24 hours, I logged back in last night only to find my ship was still out to sea. I can't board it, can't launch it, can't board/launch any of my other ships and I show up as on my ship to my friends. If they try to go to me, they come to where I'm at on dry land.

I had a friend add me to their crew, went to them on their boat, and had them dock, hoping to reset myself. No luck.

I spoke with support via live chat (a very nice feature btw, and Forrest the support guy was very nice) and they told me to try every world. I did that, but no help.

Finally, they said that was the only work-around they had and if it didn't work then there was nothing else that could be done. They said it will be fixed in the next patch - available in a day or two. So for now, I can't use my ships, so I'm playing lots of poker .

I too have a frigate stuck "out to sea". Very frustrating. I've attempted to board from every sea with no luck. Tried letting the ship timer run out, no help. I've been on and off others ships too. There doesn't seem to be a real workaround for this problem yet. Lets hope theres a fix soon.

Same thing happened to me the other day. My roomate ported to Port Royal where i was sailing through the island. I parked my ship next to the docks, and sure enough, he could see me there

I had this happen too, I had to go to the Ocean that I was originally in and go to the dingy that I originally cast off from, my boat "returned" to me.

that's happening to me too.. I was sailing and my cargo was full, I tried to dock but the anchor never showed up.. I had to log out and lose my cargo

Since I got the official "Sorry for the trouble, that will be fixed with the next release" message from support, I was happy to see a new release on test. I figured it wouldn't be far behind on open and I'd be sailing again soon. Just for giggles, I tried launching my ship on open and found I could! There was much pirate celebration.

Hope the rest of you have such luck!

Yes, my boat was back in the dock yesterday and ready for use, ... after about 3 days out to sea though I was out of practice and promptly got sunk by a Man 'o' War

Glad to hear ya got your ship back!

That may be the temporary answer for this problem: wait until Disney resets the servers (like when they bring down the game for the next server maintenance/upgrade), then MAYBE your ship will be "docked" again.

I realize it's just a workaround -- they still need to fix the bug -- but, hey, it's an idea.
