Best Advice
Reviewed By Travelheydoc - Oradell, NJ | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Have used Kathleen to book my travel before and she has never steered me wrong. One bit of advice she always gives is to get travel insurance. I went on a wonderful cruise she booked for me in December 2024 and developed a health problem while on board the ship. This required 4 visits to the onboard medical center while being treated, which cost $7381! I received excellent care on the ship, but that cost would have really hurt me financially. Fortunately, I had taken Kathleen’s advice about the travel insurance and was able to file a claim after I returned home. It took a few weeks, but I was just reimbursed the entire amount! What a relief. If I had not been able to get reimbursed, it would have meant not being able book my next trip with her, my African Safari later this year. Thankfully, Africa here I come!
Kathleen Blehl responded
"Thank you for booking your trip with me again! I am happy that everything got resolved and that you are gearing up for your African Safari. Only a few more months now! Looking forward to seeing lots of pictures!!!"

Kathleen was great with my first cruise - she asked the right questions and steered us to the right cruise ship for us - Celebrity. We couldn’t have been happier with our trip! Kathleen quickly responded to my questions every step of the way - which is great because I was extremely anxious. Can’t wait to book my next cruise!

Great Travel Agent - Great Trips
Reviewed By Travelheydoc - Oradell, NJ | Traveled to Finland ~ Europe
Just booked my second trip with Kathleen. First trip was in March, 2024 to Finland. Great experience! Found an igloo for me, which I had really wanted to try. Other hotels and travel arrangements spot on. Just booked my next trip through her, a great deal for 12 night cruise with balcony in Europe. She even found an extra onboard credit in addition to the advertised specials!
Kathleen Blehl responded
"Thank you for your review! It was a joy working with you on your Finland trip. I'm happy you were able to see the Northern Lights! What an experience. I am looking forward to hearing stories from your cruise travels to the Azores, Spain, and Portugal in December! "
