Views & Queues FAQs
Do you two have jobs? Yes! We both have full time careers. Brian is a Software Engineer and Kerry is a Graphic Designer.
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.

Where did Brian get the Royal Caribbean vineyard vines shirt at?
Dinner time question: What has been the most expensive cruise you've gone on and was it worth the price? And what was the least expensive cruise you went on and did it exceed your expectations?
Thank you for another amazing cruise! You two are the best! 💗💙 Dinner time question: You live in Florida, where it is hot all year! How could you possibly wear all of the hoodies you get?? 😂🤩😍
Dinner Time question!: what made you two decide to have a very small wedding with like 12 guests??❤
I booked Giovanni’s just for the terrace but did it during sunset so it would be cooler out. I cant wait!
I'm a big fan of the Blueberry Nojito mocktail, but that's about it for Royal's mocktails
Okay let's be honest After the question of the night, me and my wife had to go back a bunch of times to rewatch your guys' explanations of pirate night, it is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. And sadly, the truth just never looked at it that way.
I vote 🗳 Gangsters night on Disney! I'm sure Iger would love his ships 🚢 in the media for having gangster take overs at sea.
my dog is my phone background
Only psychopaths have blank backgrounds on their phones. 😂
Love your videos, new subscriber. Are the places you guys eat at included or any of them extra specialty dining?
Whats tha matter with him? No girl pic on the lock screen? He is not happy about something, better find out what it is LOL!
Peter is really looking healthy these days, so happy for him!
Brian is so sassy like my boyfriend he would totally yell at me for mistaking the Stanley 😅
I think it would be more wise to maybe hide the ducks late at night with less people around…
Were you two throwing Shade at Lookout cay? 15:20 😂
Dinnertime questions: question 1: why did both of you start cruising together? Question 2: why do both of you choose to go on cruises instead of going onland vacations? Question 3: Will either of you ever go on solo cruises? Question 4: will both of you ever go on land vacations as a couple & as singles? Question 5 & Last question: would you ever choose to go on land vacations over going on cruises?
😮 Dinner time question:
Brian, where on earth do you store all of your full zip hoodies??
have you tried the royal blogs chicken parm sandwich hack? if not, it is the famous chicken sandwich topped with mozzarella sticks and marinara!!
Thank you for sharing! Great time!
The real question is do you have beef with captain jack sparrow
I really wanna go on this ship! Need some money first, oh and vacation time lol. Living that American dream
Fun vlog,I'm on that ship in three weeks,can't wait.
I’m thinking the crouton is just the unused garlic knots cut up and toasted. 😉 thoughts?
🥰😍🤩🤩🤩
I was on Harmony of the Seas next to Utopia. They are very similar. Same slides. Same almost everything. The paint color and some of the finishing touches were different, but It was basically the same from what I could see. That and the sports decks were updated nicely. I would love to sail on Utopia as well. I just wish they would update the Central Park layout a bit. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but it would be cool to see some unique features that set the ships apart
Ummm I think that Starbucks order was mine! Why would you take that Brian with an I
One is diesel powered, Utopia is Natural Gas powered.
If DCL doesn’t add a Gang Member Night (with gang member takeovers) to the Adventure I will be boycotting DCL!
