The plan covers five à la carte restaurants. Azul is international, Frida is gourmet Mexican, Lucca is Italian-Mediterranean, Piaf is gourmet French and Sen Lin is Asian fusion. Selva del Mar and a swim-up Aqua Bar complete the list. The nightly rate covers gourmet dining, top-shelf drinks, 24-hour suite service, taxes and gratuities.

The spa is the centerpiece. Family cinema, bonfires on the beach, scuba diving, and Sunset on Board fill the afternoons, and Kids' and Teens' Clubs keep younger guests busy. The Las Marietas Islands are a scuba excursion away.
