Sailings were rearranged yesterday and the Ben allocated to the TT runs instead of Manxman. I managed to grab a couple of crossings, premium lounge was completely empty on both runs as no reserved seating could be booked previously due to the uncertainty over which vessel was on the run and different seating, so pick of seats.

Yes reserved seating upgrades on the Ben TT runs should be available for a while

whats that old saying
start as you mean to carry on
every year they were running on reduced power so this gear box fault could be the new excuess for running slower and saving fuel
