Anyone know about cruise director TJ Partida?

I will sailing on Freedom in 42 days (but who's counting? 😄 ) and according to the CD schedule, ours will be a TJ Partida.  Does anyone know how he is? 

 

My last one on Vista in 2019 was Matt Mitcham, who was beyond fantastic and awesome and hilarious and so dreamy to look it and the one before that from my 2018 cruise on Breeze was Schwartz, who we LOVED.  I have been spoiled on CD's and I can't imagine anyone being better than those two, haha!

I started a thread asking for notes on TJ (and another CD) a few months ago at https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2690124-tj-partida-and-nono-jones-any-notes/ .  It's not a long thread, but the TL,DR is that the people who have been around him seem to have liked him.  And my impression is the same.  I found him friendly without being cloying, enthusiastic without being obnoxious, and he doesn't make too many announcements (by Carnival standards).  His fan club doesn't seem to be as large as the ones for the two CDs you mentioned.  I haven't experienced either of them, so I don't know if you'll like TJ better.  Please be sure to tell us what you find!
