I'm Mike Petrone, a Sarasota-based travel advisor with Cruise Brothers since 2022. Travel has been part of my life for decades. I spent 10 years in airline customer service, cargo and baggage with Piedmont and US Airways, and I'm an aviation buff who trained toward a pilot's license. My wife and I lived on and off in Odessa, Ukraine, and we've traveled all over Europe and the U.S. My favorite trip? A June Alaska cruise on Princess.

As a State-certified general real estate appraiser RZ3609 with a background in real estate sales and investing, I read the fine print and look for real value. Booking with me is usually the same price as booking direct. I compare every line and cabin for your budget, Cruise Brothers often adds perks like onboard credit, and I watch for price drops before final payment. When plans change, you have a real person in your corner.

I help travelers across the U.S., and Tampa Bay neighbors can sail from Port Tampa Bay, no flight needed. Let's plan your next trip.
