Review summary
Overall, 8/10. Our room, room steward, waitstaff and all personnel we met with were very good to great. No complaints at all with the staff. Kitchen needs to improve their food temperature and overall quality back to previous standards. TJ, the cruise director, is great! Very fun, super cute and personal! Huge shoutout to JoJo in Club O2! She’s a gem! Really kind, very much gets kids and makes the effort to both know the kids and their families. Orpha, our room steward (1372) is also a total gem! Made sure to personally greet us each time she saw us! She has approximately 50 rooms to clean and new people each week but never failed to acknowledge us by name!Embarkation

Food and Dining
The Chic Restaurant
Staff is EXCELLENT! But the kitchen cannot seem to send up a single HOT food plate from the regular menu. After the first not my husband never, and I am serious, ever had a HOT meal. It was tepid, warm at the edges but not in the center. My food, specially prepared because of dietary issues was hot, delicious and timely. Even my kids dinners (regular menu, no chicken nuggets) were tepid. Soups that were supposed to be hot were warm. That’s it. The kitchen is risking a illness outbreak by serving food below 140° F. This needs to be rectified!

JoJo is truly one of the best directors we’ve met over our teenagers years of cruising. She’s incredibly personable, really makes the effort to know the kids and their families. A GEM!
