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...
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... (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..... 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... (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.
How can we support your channel? You can join our KZfaq Membership! You pay $10/month and we upload video content that is exclusive for our members. / @views-and-queues
Will Brian ever propose? He says he will, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

That lazy river is no joke. I fell out of my tube during one part and got a good scrape on my hand. The first aid acted like it’s something that happens hourly 😂

In breaking news: a couple has been discovered alive weeks after being stranded alone on a remote deserted island following their cruise ship sinking. Strangely they were only found when an aircraft flying overhead reported seeing a Ben and Jerry’s cow on the island’s beach. At first the pilot thought it was a missed steak, but then saw the two survivors vlogging together on the sand. When interviewed after being rescued, they were asked why they stole the cow as their only survival tool from the ship. Shipwreck survivor Kerry (not related to Jerry) said she always knew the cow was going to be legend-dairy. Brian (not related to Ben) said he thought their chances of being found alive with the cow were medium rare. 😂😂🤣

@AuntinaRocks Жыл бұрын

When talking about survival and what you should take you actually had one of the best objects in your shot. That was the big umbrella. You could use it for shade to protect from the sun. You can turn it upside down and catch rain for fresh water. It is a big object so will be good to see from the air to aid rescuers that are searching for you. And the pole of the umbrella could be used as tool to dig letters in the sand (again aid in rescue) or defense/attack if needed.

Fill the Lifeboat with as much food and water as you possibly can and take that. Not only will you have food and water but the Lifeboat will provide you with shelter and shade which is also important if you're stuck on a deserted island. And protection from predators

Those waves are no joke when on the open sea. I did a pacific coast cruise and we had 30 ft swells from inclement weather, it wasn’t even storming, it was just the north pacific and bcuz of that our port of Astoria in Oregon was cancelled bcuz it was too dangerous to try to get in

Actually the whole reason I have been seeking out this information is that I genuinely prefer as much lazy in my lazy river as possible.😂If I could spend most of the day floating round and round the river without getting out of the inner tube except for absolute necessities, that would genuinely be my ideal day.

From what I’ve heard, Royal Caribbean ships might be comparable in LENGTH to other ships, like Wish, that are significantly lower in gross tonnage, but they are noticeably WIDER than many other ships (according to Wikipedia,Independence is, in some places, as much as fifteen feet wider than Wish, and is, indeed about eight feet taller, too)

Yes love the cruise compass but we still got the paper ones on our December cruise. If they truly go green then yeah I would prefer that pdf but I would prefer it in the app with some way to link stuff, save stuff, because in the app you can save the activities to be reminded of it. So the pdf version would need to have a function implemented into the app to still do that. But the way the app has it is okay, but it could better for sure.

I can’t remember exactly, but I believe we took towels off the ship for this excursion (just remember to bring them back on board or else you will get charged a fee).
