As far as the smell, is this a bathroom that's used daily for showers? If
not, you should be beyond the smell in a few days. Certainly not the 24
hour
lie on the paint container, but not 2 weeks, either.

It's a large bathroom, used daily, and open plan to the master
bedroom so the smell will be a pain. The refinishing of the
cabinet exteriors with poly won't be too much of a problem
because the doors, drawers and panels, have been taken to the
garage/shop for refinishing. The frames will need to be done in
situ but the surface area of the frames isn't very great.

I agree that the paint smells tend to last a lot longer
than advertised (unlike the paint!). Some brands and formulations
are more obnoxious than others.

It's more than just the smell. If it doesn't cure long enough, things will
stick to it when it's humid, like the plastic wrapper for the 12 pack of
toilet paper.

Suck it up. You have to do this right.
