Views & Queues FAQs
Where did you get that Royal Caribbean scratch off poster? We make it and sell it ourselves on Etsy! Here’s the link: viewsandqueues.etsy.com/listi...
Do you two have jobs? Yes! We both have full time careers. Brian is a Software Engineer and Kerry is a Graphic Designer.
Is this vlog a paid promotion with the cruise line? No, we have never worked with a cruise line before (I doubt they even know who we are 😂). If that ever changes, we will be sure to let you know in the video.
What are those black pouches around your neck? We use the lanyards to carry some camera equipment, but many cruisers like to wear lanyards to hold their room key card.
What camera do you use? We typically use the DJI Pocket II, however, when we are in the water we use the Go Pro Hero 9, and in Alaska we occasionally used the Nikon P1000 for wildlife shots. You can find these linked in our Amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandq... (Full disclosure, these are affiliate links. It costs you nothing more, and we earn a small commission.)
What is a GUSS? GUSS is our name for a Towel Animal! It is a childhood memory for Brian that has lived on for years. You can see the home video moment where GUSS was born in Adventure of the Seas Day 6 (We Made the News) and Allure of the Seas Day 3 (Sea Day).
Is that one thing you said serious? Almost certainly not. If you’re new to the channel, we have really dry, sarcastic senses of humor. So if you’re questioning if it’s sarcasm - it probably is.
How do I ask a dinner time question? Leave a comment on any video and let us know it’s supposed to be answered at dinner time. We’re always looking for new questions (even if the next cruise we can answer it on is a long long way out).
Is it really pronounced CoCo “Key”? Royal Caribbean has said itself that it is pronounced “Key” in a FAQ of their own here: creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal.... To each their own on this pronunciation!
When and how did you meet? We met in February of 2020 via a dating app. We answer this question in more detail in our Independence of the Seas Day 2 (Swimming with Pigs) video.
Where did you get XYZ clothing item, Kerry? I do most of my shopping on Amazon and you can find those items linked in our storefront here: www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandq... (Full disclosure, these are affiliate links. It costs you nothing more, and we earn a small commission.) My sunglasses are a mix of Knockarounds and Blenders. My luggage is Bric's by Ulisse. Those fun flowy pants are from Shein. Other than that, it’s usually TJ Maxx, Kohl’s, JCPenny or Old Navy.

Will Brian ever propose? He says he will, but 🤷🏻♀️
I recently discovered this channel and have been living vicariously through y’all enjoying your best cruise life. Excited to watch this one!
Y'all posting a video made my Sunday!
after mini golf " lets see who can eat the most burgers " ... sign me up! I got this haha
I have binged watched every one of your videos. I was so excited to see a new one this am. Love the interaction of the two of you.
thanks for watching them all! which one is your favorite?
Thank you for the wonderful content, ❤ the channel! What are the pouches you wear & do you have an all time favorite destination in the Caribbean?
I definitely should not have been this excited for a segway video to drop
I found your video's by searching Symphony of the Seas Crown Loft Suite 1734 and I will be staying in the exact same one you did!
I've never spoken to anyone who had gone on a cruise and didn't love it and want to get right back on. Cruising is amazing!
Nothing wrong with “más o meno “ im Cuban and that made perfect sense to me that you responded that phrase. Just means “more or less”
I think you are right! So many people do not understand what cruising is all about and how much fun it is
I really want to go there but have a safe trip
MY coworkers make fun of me too when I say I’m going on another cruise 😂 Oh well they just don’t get it. I’m hooked and can’t wait for my next cruise. My favorite ship at the moment is Wonder of the seas. Can’t wait to watch your next vlog.
I'm happy Kerry corrected you Brian about the "FUN Fact" Kinda just a sad story not a fun fact!! But I still love ya!! Great vlog. I've been looking forward to the vlog today!!
We will be taking our kids on their first cruise in August on Wonder of the Seas. We will be going to cococay, cozumel, costa maya and roatan. We have only been to cococay and know the kids will love it. Do you know of any good beaches at our other spots. Cannot wait for your next video and because of you we will be getting that chicken sandwich from the snack shack and are planning a Thanksgiving cruise. Thank you for your videos and your awesome loyal to royal scratch map!
That sounds like an amazing cruise! Hmm we don’t know of any beaches at the other places, but the jeep excursion we did in Cozumel had a pretty good beach stop as part of it! Planning to upload that video this weekend!
Yay! New video... Can't wait. *fetches icecream*
As a former Mall Cop, Segways are the best thing in the world. If I owned one I would ride it everywhere!
Hi Kerry and Brian. Love this video. So appreciate you sharing all the details of your cruises. As someone who has never been on a cruise before, my confidence is building is to book that trip and it will be with Royal based on your recommendations. My wife and I really enjoyed your coverage of Hairspray including the clips of Kerry from her theater experience. You definitely need a more accurate and definitive Guss guide than the Carnival Cruise one. Looking forward to more videos. Hope you both have a great week.
Hope you book that first cruise soon! We know you’ll love it! 🚢
Preach guys! 🙌 We could sail on 52 different cruise ships across 52 weeks a year and still not get bored or sick of cruising!
Yes!!
you guys really need to do Carnival Celebration. You will love it!
Had a friend who normally does royal who liked the celebration so much that they are picking it over royal next.
We definitely want to try it out!!
I've done one cruise so far and can see the appeal- the walk back to your "hotel" room after a show, dinner, party, casino, game, drink...not to mention all of this while you are going to another country (port), better than traveling by plane, having to rent a car, etc.
You 2 are my favorite 😊😊
Sending love from Washington State 💜
Amazing. Fun trip. 😁
You guys have great content! I love how thorough your videos are.
Another great blog. I definitely miss that ship. I can’t wait to get back on another oasis class.
Yay a new one!! I have been binge watching all your videos!! I love them! I love that Kerry is from Delaware as am I! And I grew up in Townsend/Middletown area as well! Of course I’m a lot older then you are Kerry. I went to hodgson there was no St. George’s yet! I really loved the Alaska and Norway cruises. My dream cruise would be Alaska! Can’t wait for your next video!! ❤❤❤
No way!! Such a small world! What shop were you at Hodgson?
I hope you can book an Alaska cruise - we had such beautiful scenery and saw so much wildlife on that trip. I highly recommend it! 🚢
I took nurse tech and I graduated in 1995 😬.. And I’m still in health care to this day! I loved my time at hodgson. I’ve never been on a cruise before so I’m saving up to book my first on for next year. Im really excited. 🫶🏻
I love that!!
That clip of Kerry singing Cooties was something I didn’t know I needed in my life! 😂 loved it!
😂 glad you enjoyed it!
To be serious for moment.
"People at work make fun of me for going on cruises".
I have the same feeling. Some try to be polite about it, bit most of the time its a bit condescending.
It took me a long time to get anyone to come along. But once they tried it, they even leave their GFs at home to go on a cruise"
Go figure?!
For me it hits all the note, its easy, its exitng, its fun, and where (in the entire world) would you go to get all that is included in the price?
Simply put, its unbeatable.
Please keep it up guys, you are the best ambassadors for cruising!
Thought this was an old video I missed but nope a new one and I’m just in time ! 😊😊
It would be so nice to have a Segway on the ship probably get wild in rough seas though
I’m so sorry if you e already answered this, but with how popular your channel is getting, do you think there will be a point where you won’t do your 9-5 any longer? Cruising full time is the dream!!
We would love to, however our lifetime earnings on CZcams is still less than the cost of one cruise, so it may take us a while to get there!
Best cruise videos. Thanks!
Love this!! Thank you for sharing
I found your channel researching about Royal Caribbean, I can’t stop watching your videos! We are going on our first Royal Caribbean cruise in November on Freedom😍 We’ve only sailed with Carnival before, I’m SO excited to go
Segway video!!! LETS GOO!!!!
Love your vlogs! I cruise a lot as I live in Southampton right where the cruises leave England, and I’m doing Norway this year! You really make me want to try RC, I’ve only tried a couple cruise lines and I agree with you, can never get bored of cruising! I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos 😊
My wife and I were in Costa Maya last week on Allure of the Seas. It was a neat place to visit.
Thank you for showing this excursion.. I was always curious on the Segway.. you guys rock!
Great job on the Segway Kerry. You have great broadway talent as well 🙌🙌🙌👍😊
Dinner question: Are you going on Icon of the Seas? I saw in a previous video that Brian had predicted a walk the plank bungee experience would be on a ship one day and I believe that's on Icon.
I love watching your videos. I miss cruising. Found your channel and I have watched every video. Can't wait for the next one.
I had a bottle from grand caymancsoo cool
Really enjoyed this - I'm heading back to Costa Maya later this year, and this has gotten me properly excited!
Great video! We did a Segway tour in Puerto Rico about 10 years ago. We went up to the Fort and all around old San Juan. In the beginning I was super nervous and it was harder than I thought it was going to be. towards the end, I was able to relax a little more. It was a great experience!
They also show the conductor and live orchestra during Grease!
Great video
Been checking daily for a new video and it made my Sunday seeing this one pop up! I love how real and honest you guys are about your cruising experiences- that really helps us newbies to cruising! Which leads me to my dinner time question: it seems cruising for you guys is overall positive and fun, but what has been your overall worst cruising experience? (My guess is missing the escape room when you couldn’t get back from Blue Lagoon on time)???
Hi guys! Kerry, I’m also from Delaware and we went to the same high school (I was a freshman when you were a senior). I totally get what you mean about being excited to see people from our small corner of the world make it (: Thanks for the great video!
No way!!! What a small world - that is so cool!! What shop were you in? Thanks so much for watching 🚢
@@Views-And-Queues I was in biotech! And yes it is a very small world. My boyfriend loves cruising and we started watching your videos, and I thought you looked familiar, and then once you said you were from Delaware it clicked!
That’s amazing!!
Another great video. Love watching the ports you go to as its a long way away for us as we are in Melbourne Australia, hopefully will get to the Caribbean one day. Looking forward to your next video 😀
Love having friends in far away places! Glad we could show you around Costa Maya!
Went to Costa Maya last May on Allure and went to some Mayan Ruins, was such a cool excursion!
Funny story, we went to Costa Maya once, but it was in the middle of the night for a medical evacuation. The funny thing is we were supposed to dock there again in the morning for a port day but could not due to weather. I wondered why they couldn't just stay there once we were docked, pretty sure it was something to do with them not wanting to pay additional port fees.
Have you been on the sister ship, Harmony? It’s a really nice one.
I think the towel animal looks like an ant eater lol😂 love watching your videos!
Dinner time question: What check in time do you prefer? And have you tried different times to compare crowds?
Love your videos! Recommend to everyone interested in cruising! I think my favorite is the Aruba excursion!😂😂
Hi, Which theatre in Delaware did you perform in? You are the next Aubrey Plaza!
Many other cultures dip fries and onion rings in mayo..not for me but that’s why you got it! Love to watch both of you and your travels! Safe and happy cruising!
I’ve got so many of my work mates and family into cruising I should get a commission 😂 great video thanks
Yes love cruising! Been on 7 I think lol, we don't live close to a port! Closest one driving is about 5 hours. But with my husband working retail his days off are weird so we can't take advantage of the shorter ones like yall can! But also 7 days for me or longer is where it's at, rhe 5 days felt too short haha.
But totally agree with yall a lot of "hate" for cruising comes from people who have never cruised!
I speak Spanish. Mass o bueno is perfectly fine/appropriate describing your feedback
❤
The mayo is so you can make fry sauce with the ketchup.
Would love to know where Kerry got got her flowery pants paired with the blue shirt (worn to see Hairspray)
"Is that really a FUN fact?" 😂😂😂
Just discovered you guys tonight! The seaweed is stinky sargassum. Really making beaches a mess!
Hi there. Do you think you'll ever consider being full time vloggers? Leaving your current places of employment to cruise around the world, bringing cruise, excursions, and destinations content? I'm telling you... Yall bring the best!
Thank you!! At the moment it doesn’t seem possible for us to ever make the same amount of money on CZcams as we do with our current full time jobs. But you never know, we’ll never rule out that possibility!
I've only cruised Norwegian and have been on three cruises. Never been to a show. They always seem to have one music show (same on all three ships we've been on) and maybe a comedy routine. I soooooooooo want to go on a cruise line that has Broadway style shows!!! I've heard that a lot of cruise lines are cutting them. Is that true with Royal, too? Also, which ship would be the best to try with Royal if we definitely want to see some Broadway productions?
Kerry, where did you get your blue tank top? It’s so cute
What are the tan sandals you are wear at mini golf?? My wife loves them.
Hey guys, I love the videos!
Dinner time question: you guys seem to get a lot of free cruises from the casino. So I was wondering, How much time and money goes into gambling in order to get a free cruise?
Oh and Kerry a sweater without a hood is called a Pullover. Haha
Happy cruising! I look forward to your next adventure!
If you couldn’t go on royal Caribbean cruises or Disney what cruise line would you go on?
I love the floral pants you are wearing! Where did you get them?
TJ Maxx in the swimsuit cover-up section!
Hi Kerry! This is Ty’s wife. I love your outfit that you wore to miniature golf and dinner in this video. Where did you get it from? Do you have a link you can share? Thanks!
The bottoms are from TJ Maxx so I don’t have a link I can share 😢 but I found them in the swimsuit cover up section if that helps at all!
Yall make me laugh😂 I don't think that's a fun fact😂😂 also love that lotion. It looks like it works amazing! Please do a 7 day plus cruise! Big fan sitting here waiting to go on a cruise 😂. Thanks for posting these videos❤
We have to wait a little while before our next 7 night cruise, but we hope you have a cruise coming up soon that you can enjoy 🚢
A JEEP ON AN ISLAND AGAIN?!?! Please tell me you filled it up before going out!
🤣🤣🤣
Ive never been to Costa Maya
I going on Oasis of the Seas next year April 25 2024 and it will be my first cruise. Any advice for my first cruise?
are you planning a trip on Utopia?
Yes, there is a relatively new law in Mexico in which each food product must be labeled to point out certain characteristics in the products to help people make informed decisions about what we are consuming. So we see labels like "excess calories/sugar/sodium/saturated fat/trans fat" or simply "contains caffeine/sweeteners avoid for children"
And like every food product that enters the country to be sold must get tagged. The other day I went to el mercado and there's this dude in my hood who brings food/snacks from Asia to sell them here and I went to buy some mochi and my mochis were labeled it ruined the packaging and it ruined my vibes honestly
The tour guys were definitely joking by telling you we don't say "mas o menos" en México, we do say that a lot, that and "ahorita". Unless it isn't as popular in the south (I'm from the north very close to the border) but I wouldn't know, I haven't had the chance to travel this amazing country.
😅 phew, I’m glad at least some of my Spanish is accurate!
When is “ seaweed season”?
Fun Fact for you both : people in Quebec 🇨🇦 actually eat their French fries with ketchup AND mayo! Doesn't taste that bad either :)
What do you guys do for a living? Can you share it with us?
kerry is a graphic designer and brian is a software developer
The ppl who say they hate cruising usually have never been on one and just have a stereotypical view of it. This isn’t cruising from 1950 or even 1980. I always say try it before you knock it. You never know and most everyone that tries it likes it way more than they thought they would. I would live on a cruise ship if I could.
Okay dinner time question we’re all thinking: when are y’all getting married?
Aw man, they cut out cooties? That's a shame, it's a great little fun number, especially if the Amber has a bit of fun with it. Hairspray is such a fun show. And the OBC is STACKED. Marissa Jaret Winokur, Harvey Fierstein, Matthew Morrison, Kerry Butler, Laura Bell Bundy, Jackie Hoffman... On the RCI ships when they do a Broadway show, do they do it as two acts or do they condense it into a single act?
It’s condensed into a single act - hence the lack of cooties 😢
😂☮️😂☮️
We have now lost our favorite cruise bloggers to the high life.
How can we expect them to talk to us regular pleebs in normal Cabin?
Sir Brian and Princess Kerry.😮
Kerry! How does it feel on your face though? My face always breaks out with any kind of sunscreen and always feels so gross haha.
I definitely have sensitive skin, but this one doesn’t cause me to break out! It does get a little greasy, so I use powder on top when I’m wearing it as makeup!
@@Views-And-Queues perfect! Thank you.
First
I’m going on a cruise at the start of july my first cruise any tips
you’re not first
@27:30 we need a Guss Guide for us Guss Lovers!
