About Mickey

A Travel Agent Who Actually Knows Cruises

Hi, I'm Mickey Blum — an independent travel agent specializing in cruises, hosted through Pachtman Travel Services. Whether you're dreaming about the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Alaska, or beyond, I'm here to make it happen without the stress of figuring it all out yourself.

Cruises are my passion and my specialty. I stay up-to-date on every major cruise line, ship, itinerary, and deal so you don't have to. As your dedicated agent, I take the time to understand exactly what you want — then find the cruise that fits your style, budget, and travel goals perfectly.

I'm not a booking engine. I'm a real person who picks up the phone, answers emails, and advocates for you when things don't go as planned.

Why Book with Me?

The Travel Agent Advantage

Booking direct or using a faceless website is fine — until it isn't. Here's why having a real agent in your corner makes all the difference.

01

It Costs You Nothing

Travel agents are paid by the cruise lines, not by you. You get expert help, and you pay the same price (or less) than booking direct.

02

Expertise You Can't Google

I know which ships have the best balcony cabins, which itineraries suit first-timers vs. veterans, and which cruise lines are actually right for your style.

03

I Watch for Better Deals

After you book, I continue monitoring for price drops, promotions, and upgrades. Cruise prices change — I make sure you benefit.

04

Someone in Your Corner

When something goes wrong — a missed port, a delayed flight, a billing issue — you have a real person who knows you and advocates for you.

05

One Stop, Full Trip

I coordinate everything: cruise, pre-cruise hotel, transfers, travel insurance, shore excursions. One call, all covered.

06

Personal Relationship

I learn your preferences, travel style, and wish list — so every trip gets better. You're not a booking number; you're a client.

Happy Travelers

What Clients Say

★★★★★
"Mickey found us an incredible deal on a Mediterranean cruise that we never would have found on our own — and coordinated everything seamlessly. Will never book any other way again."
— Sarah & Tom, Mediterranean Cruise 2024
★★★★★
"First-time cruisers and Mickey walked us through everything. The ship recommendation was perfect for our family. We're already planning our next one and Mickey is the first call we're making."
— The Johnson Family, Caribbean Cruise 2024
★★★★★
"I've booked with big websites before and always had something go wrong with no one to call. Mickey handled a last-minute issue at embarkation that would have ruined our trip. Priceless."
— David R., Alaska Cruise 2023
