for this time of the year. Ferries are often cancelled between Jan and March due to the weather.
In May it is usually no worries, but of course you can't predict the weather - but in general May is no problem for a boat crossing.
My personal preference would be Gili Cat - I know you have to go up to Padang Bai, but the crossing from Padang Bai is a lot smoother than from Benoa.
