Please help a cruise addict!

I admit it I am addited to cruising, I like seeing new places everyday (almost), I like being waited on and I especially like choosing my entertainment in the evening!

Now I know I should try something different and perhaps try a weeks stay abroad, but the problem is where can I go to get the above? I love the beach and don't mind sitting on it for a day or so, but not everyday, so there must be other things to do. I certainly don't want to just have a drink in the bar in the evening and then go to bed, but I am 55 so don't want to go somewhere like Ayanapa, I do like peace and quiet after midnight:rotfl:

Someone please convert me

    As with many addictions, there is a 12-step plan to help with your cruise problem.

    The 1st step is to place a plank of wood over the edge of your next cruise ship. You then take a further 11 steps along the plank and hey, presto, it's your last cruise!

    Have you thought about touring holidays? Not so conveneient as you might feel like you are living out of a suitcase but new places to see every other day or so.

    How about instead of going cold turkey, you do a combined cruise/land holiday. E.g. a week in Florida followed by a one week Caribbean cruise

    Why bother changing, just pick somewhere different.

    or pick a trip with overnights so you can go out

    Or an open jaw cruise with a stay at each end

    problem is it will be difficult to match the price/quality ballance
