Indeed, Manxman.
I've noticed, as I was trying to book our weekend away in August, that they don't seem to be taking bookings for "Manxman", even though that is the scheduled boat. I say this, because all the new cabins haven't been available & the pet lounge(s) have been mostly booked up. I find it hard to believe this to be the case, so maybe when she does finally begin they will release these places. We had to book my Wifes birthday weekend away 2 weeks later then her birthday, due to lack of space, so we may find space becomes available soon. Of course we'd then have to pay to change the tickets!
