Agree 27 nights on Navigator with only CR and Portofino's got old for us - we all have our favorite ships and that's fine - I loved, really loved, the Diamond and some did not - talk about few dining choices BUT 14 nights, our first cruise, it worked!!! We had not cruised V and M so no comparison. And 7 nights, again, (second trip) Diamond trip with LCTers it was magic!!!
