Today we spend the full day at sea onboard the new Celebrity Ascent. We check out the different sea day activities, try the escape room, have lunch at Craft Social, and today is Thanksgiving so we have our turkey dinner in the main dining room.

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://viewsandqueues.etsy.com/listing/984490829/royal-caribbean-scratch-off-poster
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 frozen fries are also available at Mast Grill included in the cruise fare. Celebriry offen has the same product available at different locations. The fries are also available at the Retreat Luminae and Sundeck, which is the higher tier of fares and often 1.5 or 2x or higher than Veranda clsss rooms. So, Retreat gets rhe same fries that are already included and available to everyone.
Views and Queues thanksgiving on a ship three years running!! 🙂
Dinner Time Question: It looks like you walk a ton exploring! How many steps do you average on a cruising day?
What happened to explorer of the sea? Are y’all going to post the rest?
I'm so surprised that you didn't get any cookies or keylime pie
Great vlog loved watching you dance in the reflection during the dinner time question 😂
We're booked in 2025..sooo long to wait. Glad ya'll got to go and thx for the review.
I would love to see you all take a Virgin Cruise. I think you would be surprised how much you’d vibe with it.
Dinner question why do you like Royal Caribbean
If you want to save money in your data plan & have the international data pass included for free as part of being a spectrum m mobile customer then you Views & Queues did you know that if you switch to spectrum mobile you will save 60% vs whatever your currently paying for mobile service at any cellular provider like verizon plus since the international data plan is included for free as part of your spectrum mobile data plan you only have to enable the international data plan once per device and it would be free & included for as long as spectrum mobile is your cellular provider which I think is better than other cellular providers because you also won't have to pay for the international data plan to use cellular data when your visiting other countries. I only know that because spectrum mobile has been mine & my mom’s cellular provider for close to 10 years and I have been on 3 7night cruises, & 9 2-5night cruises all with a total of 10 destinations meaning that since the international data plan is included for free as long as spectrum mobile is my service provider that means I have saved $200 total in the past by not having to pay $20 for 2 24hour passes at each destination and I will continue to save money by not having gf f to pay for an international data plan at each port my mom & I visit on each of our future cruises.
Perconio lol. I think you mean Pecorino Cheese, it's a type of Paremsean!
OK – so as IM watching this, Im watching what Brian is wearing and grabbing things from the closset for this Fridays cruise on Brillaince of the Seas! Helped me more than you know! So far, sunglasses, dinner jacket and thongs (flip flops).
Bernie in Sydney
That hidden spot on the pool deck is the smoking section on Apex.
Hi 🖐️🖐️, Greetings from Aruba🇦🇼🏖️🖐️
Dinner time question
Do you keep track of how many cruises you have been on and if so how many have you been on?
Would you consider doing one of those long cruises that are like one year long?🚢⚓️🛥️
Loving these videos! So happy that you are enjoying your cruise on my favorite cruise line Celebrity. We sailed Royal Caribbean for years and moved over to Celebrity about 10 years ago. We were getting off a 9 night southern Caribbean cruise on Beyond the day you were getting on your cruise.
You can also call over Wi-Fi, at least on Royal Caribbean. You just change a setting. 🙂 We use it all the time.
What is your room type called – love that it has a regular balcony door ?
Kerry dancing and lip syncing to Cruel Summer while Brian’s talking is so me 😂
That raptor shirt is awesome. I love RSVLT
This video just reaffirms my desire to cruise on one of these Edge-class ships. We also sailed on the Summit and loved our experience. We just wanted MORE from it, and these ships seem to absolutely deliver.
Dinner time question: 🙋🏻♂️ With the number of cruises you have been on, what do you do or what is your secret 🤫 in making sure that you don’t get sick from the other passengers especially during flu season?
Love your videos. My wife and I love watching all of your cruise adventures especially these days from snowy New York. Thanks!
The ship looks amazing, so fresh and new. Kerri, love that dress!
