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: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ViewsAndQueues
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: https://www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandqueues (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: https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Perfect_Day/18062757_Trade_Perfect_Day_FAQs.pdf. 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: https://www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandqueues (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 🤷🏻♀️

The Perfect Storm was a film based on the story of the Andrea Gail, a commercial fishing vessel that was lost at sea with all hands on board. The movie was released in 2000, so y'all were just babies then.
The room seems rather small in width ? And the balcony is nice but way way too loud like u showed even in the evening closed u can hear noice and when opened and wanna relax on the balcony forget it not worth the price in my opinion
Do you feel like you can make full use of your suite perks when your traveling companions are in a different class? Years ago we sailed on Princess in a suite with family members in regular balconies, and I feel like we missed out on a lot because we didn't want them to feel excluded.
Awesome channel, keep up the good work! 👍
Really enjoyed your latest vlog Waiting to see how messy you get the suite 😂
Hello this room is amazing I would try to get the higher suite next time
What camera do you guys use to video? :o) Katie p.s. Thanks for being so sweet when my husband met you guys on our cruise in January 2023. ❤
I was on Oasis of the Seas 2 months ago in one of these rooms! They are my favorite ever!
Ahh, I'm so excited to see more!! The suite looks incredible, and Symphony seems like a gorgeous ship! I just booked my first Royal Caribbean cruise on Anthem to Norway for July 2024 (it skyrocketed to the top of my bucket list after seeing y'all's videos!), and I'm out of my mind with excitement!!
Love watching you guys! Wish you guys would post more videos a week 😂 you guys are amazing BTW lovvveee watching you 2
The perfect storm is a really good movie about a fishing boat and the crew on it.
Enjoy your cruise videos-detailed😊
Dinner time question: Does Kerry actually want to get married and Brian actually doesn't want to? 😂
Love watching you two..all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! Can’t wait for the next video! 😊
they dont put clocks in the rooms your on vacation time is irrelevant
Disney also has a daily morning tv show
Dinner time question: which one is better – Royal Suite on Liberty or Crown Loft Suite on Symphony?
What standing on the glass floors are exciting! But fair lol man that looks so fun what a cool vid! Omfg i love the room!!
I love how you two joke with each other honestly my fav
I appreciate the effort you put in to making these videos look and sound great. The audio work on the dinnertime question was particularly impressive.
28:42 Murderinos if I’ve ever heard them! 😂 🔪
A cruise suggestion: you should really do another quantum class Alaskan cruise. 🚢
It’s wonderful to travel with family. Happy belated birthday to Brian’s mom. As always, Kerry is wonderful with expressing her point of view. 👏🙌🛳🌴☀️🙌
I accidentally got some Starbucks- Brian 😂😂
Coastal kitchen is awesome.
"Experience luxury at sea with this captivating tour of the Crown Loft Suite on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas! It's an excellent glimpse into what a dream cruise vacation looks like. From the moment of boarding, every detail is meticulously taken care of for an unparalleled journey. 🚢
If you're also curious about the luxurious accommodations that the land-based part of your vacation can offer, Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic is a destination worth considering. Its stunning resorts mirror the opulence and comfort of this spectacular suite.
Thank you for sharing this extraordinary cruise vlog. Your joy and excitement are infectious, making us all yearn for our next adventure. Looking forward to more of your travel content and cruise updates! Bon voyage! 🌊✈"

What’s a good ship to go on. For a first time on a royal Caribbean?
I loved Royal Caribbeans home port in Miami. It's so pretty!! The suite looks amazing!!! The bungee cord hack in genius!! We use the hooks but run out of space!
The roast beef sandwich roll is pronounced “Kimmelweck.” The sandwich is a very popular regional food in Buffalo and western NY where it is affectionately called a “Beef on Weck.” Charlie the Butcher is probably the most popular place to get one.
That’s an amazing room. I love a Disney cruise but seeing what you get for the same price on a Royal cruise has me wanting to try Oasis class real bad!
So Royal allows you to bring your own plastic water bottles on board?
When will day 2 video be coming out ?
