There may be a bit of extra traffic on the Vancouver-Victoria sailings since some of the Nanaimo-Vancouver ones have been cancelled and some people may take that as an alternate route, but it probably won't have a huge effect.
BC Ferries isn't taking reservations for the next week on the Nanaimo-W Vancouver runs. They are still taking the usual number of reservations on the Victoria-Vancouver ones.
News release here.

Just note: A second ferry between the lower mainland and island has gone inop today with at least 4 CXL sailings. That would really screw things up.

And I was thinking, OK, I guess this is a typical summer SNAFU for BC Ferries.
To be fair, they did get the Queen of Vancouver back up and running between Vancouver-Victoria pretty quickly. The scary thing is when one of the big Spirit ferries is out of commission over a weekend or more....
