Nassau - VIP Blue Lagoon versus VIP Balmorao

[CynthiaRI]

I'm heading on Enchantment of the Seas.  Right now we have the VIP Blue Lagoon Island Beach Day reserved.  But now I'm trying to decide between that and the VIP Balmoral Beach day.  Any suggestions on which is better?  I'm getting nervous because I've seen some recent poor reviews of the VIP Blue Lagoon day.  I want to be able to relax but still enjoy the water.  We have our own snorkel gear and would like to snorkel on our while there.

We did the VIP Blue Lagoon and Pearl Island but not Balmoral. I prefer Pearl Island because of less people they accept on their small Island, approximately 200 guests. Blue Lagoon can handle hundreds and hundreds of guests.  Now if the Pearl Island excursion was sold out, I would have no problem going back to Blue Lagoon with the VIP package which has a separate swimming area and an upgraded lunch.

 I have heard good things about Balmoral from friends that went there.
