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.
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 finally did!

[@biologymom6238]

I enjoy watching you two so much. You are just so fun and genuine. I am disabled and I am grateful I can live vicariously via your vids. Congratulations on your engagement!! Hugs!

[@edvaira6891]

I hope you eventually get a chance to try a cruise! My wife and I are in our 50s and she has had Cerebral Palsy since birth and is now pretty much confined to a manual chair that I push…this past year plus, we have gotten into cruising and have had a surprisingly easy time on our four cruises…Three were on Royal Caribbean (Navigator to Mexico, Ovation to Alaska and Oasis from NY to the Bahamas) and our most recent on NCL Bliss up the Pacific Coast to Vancouver…All four ships were, mostly, completely Accessible and, outside of the pool decks, we did not have any trouble using any of the facilities…Plus, ACCESSIBLE CABINS ARE USUALLY TWICE AS BIG AS STANDARD CABINS FOR NO EXTRA COST (our Accessible Oceanviews were about 325 sq ft when the standard ones are about 175 sq ft)

[@borenkd]

@5:05 I feel like Brian has practiced pronouncing Empanada haha

[@Views-And-Queues]

hahaha i have!

[@borenkd]

@@Views-And-Queues just think it’s not pronounced like Piñata 😂

[@ccabus]

That was how deep is your love by The Bee Gees. Love the content and we were on allure in January for my birthday cruise. Keep up the great content. And I love 150 Central Park

[@mariawrites2941]

Congratulations on your engagement guys!! ❤💍🛳️

[@MarkSibthorpe-yg8zu]

Adventure was our first cruise as well. I’m from the UK, yes Blackcurrants are definitely fruits and common here. Certain times of the year they will grow on bushes and when on walks you can’t resist eating them, small and tasty

[@jwdc7784]

Uh if you could drop the name of the disaster operation that first jacked up the ring and then lost it that would be great

[@gregorydi2646]

My husband and I we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon two weeks. Absolutely loved it. If you’re going to be doing a cruise. I suggest you go in a couple days early to get rid of the jet lag. And hit one of the luau’s.

[@thedivineenergy]

*I just started watching you both, and I find your banter and slight snarkieness quite amusing. 🤭🥰*

[@richscary]

"But since this is Day 4" 🤣🤣🤣 I don't know why I thought that was so funny but I laughed hard! You guys are too much fun! Thanks for such entertaining videos!

[@neilvids8421]

I will be boarding Allure this Monday...Right after you guys disembark..:)

[@antont2]

Hey guys I'm so sorry to hear about the issue with resizing Kerry's engagement ring. I hope the jewelers can find the missing stone or at least give you a replacement one compensated for the hassle you both went through. I'm a kiwi living in Brisbane Australia and I know you would love to do a NZ cruise and be amazed by the culture and beauty of the country ❤

[@AmandaLander]

Yes!!’ Love watching you two!

[@CashMopar]

Adventure was also our first cruise together! Just got off Icon this morning!❤

[@sandraalonso1217]

it seem like your both love ❤️ cruise ans everything maybe your explain how I’ll maybe eventually find right group of people to go with

[@vickystevens6123]

Thank you for another video I sure love watching your channel and I love watching anything that has to do with cruises.I know in my lifetime.I will probably never get to go enjoy your channel.Thank you thank you

[@emmanuelgoldstein1918]

Congratulations on the engagement!

[@NWong95]

Heading on Allure B2B on Monday! Thanks for the vlogs. Love 150 Central

[@lamareaton]

Love the new cam!

[@MammaDizzle]

Literally just bought the germstar one for our cruise in June after seeing it in this video. Great find! Thanks!

[@meganrose3333]

Honestly, my NZ cruise was the best cruise i ever did. I would 100% recommend. The south island is gorgeous. I did go with carnival and they were great, but there are so many other options other than carnival that would also be great. This been said, i do understand how much effort this would take for you guys, i'm only in melbourne so it was easier for me to get to sydney.

[@takedownspecialist1767]

I love watching a cruise vlog from you on the weekend! So excited when I saw that you were back on Allure. I also hate the bed when its not next to the slider. I found out on Oasis class ships only you have to find a connecting stateroom and the stateroom on the right as you are looking at it from the hallway is the correct lay out with the bed next to the slider and it alternates so from there you can just keep going down the hallway and every other room is the correct layout. Hope this helps 😊

[@kerrynfrancis2264]

We are going on Ovation of the Seas to New Zealand in March next year. We live in Australia 🇦🇺

[@c.klorenz4332]

You two are just precious! I love you both so much and enjoy spending these few minutes with you watching your video! Best wishes always! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@eurikayoung9222]

Love that you fo the shops on your videos.

[@katcalico9142]

Yay!! Packing to move and need all the entertainment!

[@rjove6]

I miss the Allure! We boarded her on her inaugural sailing out of Galveston Nov. 2022. I’m almost saddened she is going to get amplified soon, she is the last classic Oasis class ship

[@aaronmcclean6733]

Welcome home hehehe. Love that you love cruising. Have a brilliant cruise guys 🤠

[@frankb518]

Love It! Been On threee cruises Out of Bayonne, N.J. DID THE Oasis pf the seas last August to Port Can. And Coco Cay!!!! great time!!! Have A safe trip!!!

[@Paigeb38]

So funny, my fiancé and I are doing a New Zealand cruise with Royal for our honeymoon!! We are doing it a few months after our wedding for the exact reason that you described

[@anacaminos1]

My favorite cruisers ❤

[@TaanasaBunnell]

Are you guys booked on Utopia of The Seas yet? It sails on July 19th! Congratulations on the engagement!!

[@kimberlykidman20]

Can’t click fast enough! Love when you two drop a new video.

[@lSwitchl]

That zoom tho!

[@ikennamichael9600]

Love you guys

[@michaeldempsey8297]

My wife and I have sailed on the Symphony and would like to cruise on Allure someday. We have just booked our next cruise on Independence of the Seas in October and have been watching your videos for a preview of the ship! We can’t wait to go cruising again! 😊

[@LiveYourBestLifeTravel]

Hey guys just found your channel! Great videos!

[@janikaadler]

Carey your top is so cute that you wore at dinner! Love your style!

[@Rob-and-Christine]

NOROVIRUS- Hi guys! Just an FYI, Brian mentioned Germstar One & killing norovirus. Please check into this as I had learned and just confirmed, hand sanitizers can’t kill norovirus. The alcohol in these can’t penetrate the capsid.

[@sharon6981]

STOPPP I’m going on this ship at the end of the month 😫 would’ve loved to see you guys

[@melaniebrown9305]

Hawaii is amazing. We stayed at Aulani on Oahu for our 20th anniversary and are going back in 4 weeks for our daughter’s graduation trip.

[@JulieThompson38]

We love Kauai. Not as much to do there, but definitely a lower key vibe if that's what you want.

[@cathycroteau1797]

My hubby and i just did a 16 day cruise from Vancouver round trip to Hawaii . It was amazing, so relaxing ! . U will enjoy it

[@deannanewman7965]

I read Allure is going in to dry dock soon. Be really cool if yall went again after renovations! Maybe compare and contrast 😄

[@CoolNoahBaughman]

I have been on this ship and I loved it and it was my favorite cruise I went in January

[@itskatelynn5553]

I’m going on the allure of the seas in 9 days I’m super excited!!!

[@kalebwick3429]

Back back back back again!

[@rchiariello]

Oooo Hawaii is incredible. You will have a wonderful honeymoon!

[@jje6619]

I’m a fellow germophobe!!! Thanks for the tip on the Germ Star 1!!!!!!

[@jcshaves]

Always cool to see dolphins swimming. Hope you get your ring back. That stinks. If they need to replace you should get more carrots included since they lost it.

[@bonnieandherhobbies]

Fun fact: you probably already know but killer whales are in the dolphin family.

[@HolisAmesVlogs]

i just got off that on friday

[@aliclutter]

The D+ specialty dinner Bogo is another great perk. Keep in mind that it’s per Diamond plus member so my wife and I each use to get two bogo’s. We have also had success in using later in the cruise on inaugural cruises and cruises with a lot of crown and anchor high tier members like transatlantic and repositioning cruises. Just make sure that you book your specially dining on the first day and tell them that you want to use your Bogo later in the cruise.

[@christinaslick6052]

Currants are small raisins. I use them in my pumpkin bread recipe and it is a pain to find them. 😏 Great vlog!

[@charleshathaway6072]

We have an Hawaiian cruise booked through Norwegian in February. We are loyal to royal but Pride of America was the only ship that met all our needs.

[@SteveBoyer10]

You are going to absolutely love Hawaii. Great choice! Which island(s)? Maui is my favorite!

[@karenball5522]

Happy to see another video from you! Just to say I’m sure I saw something the other day that gambling is banned in Hawaii, even playing cards in port is illegal. I don’t know if they allow the casinos to be open in the seas around. I know you like a little casino action. But Hawaii will be amazing anyway!

[@kellyj.795]

I love watching your videos! How are you able to cruise so much? Do you guys work from home?

[@alisonbutterfield718]

Nooooooo! Please come to australia! It’s not stressful 😂

[@AmandaLander]

We have the extended balcony on Symphony next May. I hope they have ottomans 😢

[@annieblackwell7602]

You should get a hold of Peter n Kitra from Ordinary Adventure. They have done Hawaii a bunch of times and they have videos on it.

[@kimberlymoses648]

Going on allure next weekend!

[@Views-And-Queues]

Have a great cruise!!

[@mandymckk]

I’ll be on the 4 day cruise directly after yours!

[@TaanasaBunnell]

Are you guy booked on Utopia of the Seas? It starts sailing on July 19th!

[@MrsScootsey]

I definitely get eye twitching from stress. Hope you have been able to get rest and relaxation.

[@Dillingham-]

My parents planned an enthusiastic trip to Waikiki in the early 70s. Here I am. 😉

[@ashleysisson6903]

Love your videos! We just got off the Independence of the Seas (second time) today. Were you at Coco Cay on Sunday?!

[@Views-And-Queues]

Hope you had a great time! Unfortunately we weren't

[@melissar.8704]

I didn't get it but I found a royal Caribbean purse at goodwill that had the names of some countries they visited. It was a cool find but it wasn't something I would have wanted to keep.

[@Suzanne1027]

If you haven’t already planned Hawaii yet you should really look into Bora Bora. It’s the most romantic and beautiful place I’ve ever been! Not dissing Hawaii, tho. Hawaii is awesome!

[@TheVeryHappyGuy]

Dinner Time Question!?!? I am Currently on Odyssey of the seas for the transatlantic! If yall were to do a transatlantic which ship would you choose and why?

[@terrireed8949]

Dinner time question. Since going to Hawaii for the honeymoon would you go to Aulani instead of cruise to Hawaii?

[@mariesheppard1323]

Here from ordinary adventures! Anyone else!? Excited to check out the channel! ❤

[@RobbieMathieson]

Another great video guys. Forgive me for what is probably a stupid question, but on the dinner time question, in regards to going to Hawaii for your honeymoon, I’m assuming that you would be including a cruise? If so, what way do you think you’ll go, West Coast - Hawaii, or Hawaii to West Coast?

[@twopointotravels]

Dinnertime Question: Would you ever cruise on the Norwegian Prima?

[@taniamolina107]

How many cruises do you have to do to get to the different levels?

[@stevenmclinn4029]

Please do Alauni

[@edvaira6891]

Having been to both Hawaii and New Zealand, I would honestly suggest reconsidering and maybe trying New Zealand, but perhaps more land based! It is so VERY UNIQUE and almost a mind blowing experience! Hawaii is truly lovely, but, strangely, it’s not ALL that different from parts of the Pacific Coast (Oahu is quite similar to Catalina, actually)

[@edwardsdeanna33]

Curious! Have you all done the vitality spa and have any reviews?

[@KaylaLabat0605]

20:27 is the bread being considered added to the cruise food hall of fame? It’s been two years since I’ve had it on Harmony and still dream of it! I’ve heard rumors you can walk in and order the bread to go…. Haven’t tried it though.

[@mikemunoz3762]

How many points you have with royal because you cruise a lot great

[@LiveInSydney]

Heading out with Carnival Splendor tomorrow for a ten day cruise to Cairns (North Eastern Australia)... I think Brian has lost weight since he got engaged! More truffle bread required! Bernie in Sydney

[@HBSSTC]

Nice I'll be in 664 at the end of the month!

[@janiemcdonald3986]

I've been trying to find your pink backpack. Where did you get it?

[@michaellott6749]

We leave on the 27th. Will Y'all be back on then? btw first time on Allure of the Seas.

[@cjpampling]

Hi Brian and Kerry, was just wondering, can you get those mugs on every ship or is it just Allure that does them? Thanks

[@Views-And-Queues]

Every ship that has a real Starbucks (not a “proudly serving” Cafe Promenade)!

[@danstovall4424]

The big chairs behind you at dinner remind me of the chairs you ride in at the Haunted Mansion.

[@curseknight5]

My dinner time question: What is the tipping culture on cruises like? Who do you tip and how much?

[@EvinMA]

I’m sorry. Please tell me the name of hand sanitizer and link if you can.

[@Views-And-Queues]

germstar.com/products/2oz-spray-bottles-one-6-pack

[@moeych6291]

Where’s the link for the hand sanitizer?

[@jamesgardner578]

Hawaii has Pearl Harbor n stuff

[@femalejaysfan]

dinner time question: how many soda cups do the two of you own combined? 😀

[@TheMainStreetDuo]

Used to think it was called mustard station so I feel attacked 😅 But omg can’t believe they LOST YOUR RING 😱 We hope they find it 🙏🏼

[@Views-And-Queues]

haha they officially lost it, but thankfully they replaced it!

[@OfcPhraf]

I would definitely ask for a ring upgrade if they lost it. There is no reason it should take a month for sizing. Sorry you are going through this.

[@disneyvision204]

Yall should do the 12 day transantlantic jn Feb 2025

[@menthehellmuth]

Possible dinner time question but my girl pointed out that Brian’s last name is Carey and Kerry’s first name is obviously Kerry and when you 2 get married, Kerry’s name would be ….. Kerry Carey lol so are you taking Brian’s last name

[@mariangomz7919]

A lot of people have mentioned that before and in a past video she said she wouldn’t

[@JohnGettler]

Brian Moore?

[@josephc9694]

Dinner question Kerry and Bryan win a cruise ship competition and get to choose the name of a brand new supersized cruise ship What will it be?🛳️🚢⛴️

[@kathleenmcallister494]

i really like that mug

[@davidtavakoli5858]

Three night cruise? I don't think I would waste my time. Albeit, I would have to fly to the port whereas you guys drive, right?

[@PatrickWagz]

*NOOOOOO* You didn't check to see if you had a GUSS!!!!!!!!!!! 😢😢 I don't think you can buy the internet for just 1 day. But, since you are both Diamond Plus, that equals 2 days each or 4 days total. So, you can "share" the log-in account username thing for one or 2 of those 4 days, you just won't be able to both be online at the same time for that day or so.

[@chbouquot]

I lost my bathing suit the first and only time I’ve done a flow rider.

[@elizabethblevins5736]

❤

[@shugapantz8743]

Hi 😃Not sure if you know but you both get 2 free days each of internet 💞

[@virginiamcdaniel5482]

Each of you get two days of internet. The benefits are not per room, they are per person!
