Hi, I’m Mickey

Hi! I’m Mickey.

I live just outside Orlando, Florida with my husband Frank, and if we’re not talking about cruises, we’re probably planning the next one.

Travel has always been a huge part of our lives, especially cruising. Over the years, I’ve spent time sailing on a wide range of cruise lines and itineraries, learning what really makes a trip smooth, what’s worth booking, and what you can happily skip. I created Travels With Mickey to share those experiences in a way that’s simple, honest, and actually helpful.

My goal is to take the guesswork out of cruise planning. Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or you’ve been sailing for years, I want you to feel more confident about your choices, better prepared before you board, and excited about the journey ahead.

You’ll find cruise tips, packing guides, ship reviews, itinerary insights, and real-world advice based on personal experience. I focus on practical information that helps you plan smarter and enjoy your trip more.I don’t sell cruises and I’m not a travel agent. Everything here is based on my own experiences and opinions, shared for informational and entertainment purposes only.

For booking-specific questions or travel arrangements, I always recommend working directly with a trusted travel agent or the cruise line.

Above all, I believe travel should feel fun, accessible, and something to look forward to at any stage of life. You’re never too early or too late to start planning your next adventure.
