The ferry can be OK and as Gary says its an experience. We have travelled to Lombok twice on the ferry and have also been on the ferry to Sumbawa. haven't had overflowing toilets but also don't use them, just hold on while on the ferry. We sat outside and read and had some food and couple of Bintangs with us and the time went fairly quickly. For the price I think its a good way to see more of Indonesia.
