The ferry quality varies. I had one new comfortable one and one old. The service was very good, however. I accidentally booked the wrong date, and they let me change it for free.

The ocean was super wavy, we couldn't even approach the Lembongan Harbour for a while, but the captain was 10 out of 10, he is an expert, dodging all the waves and keeping us safe.
