Staying in the LARGEST SUITE Onboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas - Royal Suite Cruise Vlog

Today we board Liberty of the Seas and tour the largest suite onboard, the Royal Suite! Room 1640. We find out all about our Royal Caribbean suite perks, and check out our private hot tub on our balcony. Then we do a ship tour and check out the unique tidal wave water slide. This is Day 1 of our 2023 cruise vlog.
Join us for cruise vlogs aboard Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian and more. As cruise vloggers, we can't wait to share our cruise ship vlog and experiences with you, featuring excursions, room tours, private islands, specialty dining, and more.

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.etsy.com/listi...
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 says he will, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

My sisters and I were lucky enough to stay in the royal suite on the Grandeur. My sister plays the piano and actually brought some of her sheet music so she could play. It was an incredible cruise!

[@Views-And-Queues]

I love that! Neither of us are musically gifted, so we just had to let the piano play itself! Glad you had a great cruise 🚢

[@wiiuboy6194]

is it out of tune from the ship rocking?

I’m in agreement!

[@ditto1051]

Have stayed in several of these Royal Suites on RCI. They are truly amazing. What is even better, is the service that is provided when you show your key or say "I'm in the Royal..." Things happen. We were even escorted off the ship at debarkation by senior staff, all the way to our waiting curbside transportation. Along the way, the porter kept asking, "Who are you two??" We just smiled.

[@travisalmouth2745]

It's called Studio B, because it is a Television Studio. Along with the ice floor, there is a sliding floor that covers the ice. The original intent of the TV Studio was to hold game shows in there and broadcast them ship wide. However, it's been years since they have done that. The last time I remember seeing one broadcast was in 2007.

So excited to watch this cruise!! What a cool room!

That was a very nice room. Lots of space and amenities. Love the bathroom and outdoor hot tub. Very nice room service. Thank you for the video.

[@carriehoskinson1651]

Your reactions remind me of the first and only time we had a grand suite, and only from using all our cruise credit from all the cancelled cruises during the pandemic, we hope one day we will get to be in the Royal suite, I better go buy a lottery ticket 😂

[@ijailem2]

I love this channel!! Just normal folks in a big suite!! love it

[@user-iu2it3ky1k]

We got the same kind of deal during covid and got the ultimate panoramic suite on oasis. It was an awesome experience glad you got to enjoy that fun room.

This is awesome! We’re on the Mariner in the RS in a month, so it was really helpful to see your tour of the room 👍

She’s so cute “I’m from Delaware should be an hour from top of the state to the bottom of the state” I’m from texas it takes 2 days to cross the state lol

[@JC-bl9bo]

Wow so awesome you had the foresight to book so far in advance. We are on Liberty for the first time next month and I am pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and nice this ship looks especially at its age. I think we are gonna love it.

[@limitedtime5471]

The tub!! 😻

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

Oh my!! So nice.

[@kerihowell7961]

I've been on Liberty twice and never noticed the different colored carpet before, great find & what a good idea.

[@jennic.548]

Absolutely beautiful....

[@eddiecooper5886]

You guys are awesome 👏

[@David_Canada557]

Good job Kerry, you have shared knowledge with Brian and all who Rembrandt is. Love the room and I can see why you prefer Disney Wish vs Liberty's suit, you are artistic and Disney's colours and look would appeal to you more whereas Brian loves elegance and the Royal Suite is definitely elegant.

[@joemichaels4231]

Crazy Suite.....Great Video!!!

I almost booked this room for later this year but went with an aquatheater suite for the second bedroom, they were the same price. The hot tub was hard to give up.

[@joeblow3939]

🔴🔴 Watching this video from Middletown DE 10-01-23 Sunday night. I used to live in Orlando (Altamonte Springs). I tell people that once you get below Port St. Lucie, you can drive just about anywhere with your head lights off. There are so many street lights in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade county's. Not that you should drive with your lights off. It's just that bright. Great job on the video. I'm looking to go on one very soon. 👍👍

[@Drflamerock]

So pleased you got to stay in the royal sweet! Do you ever cruise with friends, would you consider going with other vloggers like Ordinary Adventures?

[@Misc_Anthony]

With a room like this, I sure hope this is a 7 Day cruise... :)

[@yourvocalcoach]

Aren't they cute❤ you wonder who book these rooms. You guys are so down to earth.

[@djlesher]

We have been on Independence 3 times. May need to try Liberty :-) we have bought Art onboard it was fun

[@rubypersha5881]

the room is so big i would love to be in there 7 to 14 days and just have a great time

[@MA-bc7bf]

I feel like one of the best things about being on a cruise is NOT carrying a purse...but also drinking.

[@jessigirlrae1688]

We were really early to book a cruise and got a grand suite on Freedom for $500 a person. I'm hoping we can do a royal up closer to time and get this one!

[@edvaira6891]

We’re going to be on this ship next May (thanks for the tour!) ..for nine nights from New Jersey (Bermuda, San Juan, St Maarten and Labadee)…really wish I could’ve afforded THIS but got a really nice deal on an accessible Spacious Oceanview Balcony (which is a still pretty big 560 sq ft)

[@joeymiddleton6175]

You all should do a Group Cruise one day!!

[@user-gq2jx5pe9d]

Nice, my Aunt too, they also love, Royal Crosship, they also travel, living in Florida.

[@nsusaint]

I gave you guys a like cause of the behind the scenes explanation of how you got the room and what it cost. It's a cool story.

[@dannyj9577]

If you haven’t already, try Star Class on Oasis, Quantum (and maybe Icon) class ships. The Royal Genie will make for an unforgettable experience. I know it sounds corny but it truly is freakin’ amazing!

[@vj9110]

Enjoy this suite!! We were on Oddesy of the seas and our suite had a loft & a Genie. 14 days of pure enjoyment! So spoiled we didn't want to leave.

[@WillyDays9999]

Was looking forward to this video. Might have to plan a royal suite well in advance maybe 2 years 😅😂

[@Views-And-Queues]

It’s worth the wait!

[@izzlita]

the outro was so good hahahahaha

[@AweInDivineTime]

Super cool! I would hardly leave the room. Seems like A LOT of extra, nonfunctional space but great for a family. Another bedroom would be nice.

[@Alexiswicks689]

Hey guys! I absolutely love your content, it’s turned into my comfort channel and I keep rewatching. I booked allure of the seas and was wondering what your favorite part of the ship was? Also did you enjoy Mama Mia?

Congratz guys. You made it. You are on top of the world! 😀

[@robertmurphy7410]

We booked the same room almost 2 years out because we saw this video we are using it will be 10 year anniversary for my wife and I

[@mariefraher8725]

Book a park and go hotel. You can drive and leave your car for the duration of the cruise. They also have a transport van to take you to the port. We live on the west coast of FL and do this for our cruises. We stay the night before we sail. Great cabin...suite. Your butler would unpack for you too.

[@carrieb7313]

What was the Universal ride that the quote was from? That suite is amazing!

[@bobbymeyer5306]

I would have a hard time leaving that room. I always enjoy the content.

I get anxiety thinking about what to tip, when to tip. How do you guys handle tipping? For example, do you tip when food is brought to your room? Which scenarios do you tip outside of the pre-paid gratuities? Thank you.

Firstly - thanks - I booked a RC cruise about a week ago out of Sydney for 11 nights Dec 8, 2023. Since then I have been obsessed with watching your videos. Kinda weird but loving them! Anyway, I just looked at your exact room for April 2025 and it came in at $6,632.82 AUD. About US$4416. Anywaaayyyysss - keep doing you... its fun to watch!

we buy art on the ship auctions an the gallery is even giving us a free cruise because of our art buys. They have a VIPO cruise where we meet the artists and have access to original pieces.

What was muster like? Since you had a lux suite, did you have an individual/private muster?

I'm gonna have to upgrade, we did a Jr suite last time and I thought that was big 😂

Hey guys new Subscriber, was wondering are you using the DJI Pocket 2 and if so are you using both wireless mics at once with it?

**Easy way I remember port and starboard on a ship is** Long letter words and short letter words go together. Red-left-port (all short words) Green-right-starboard (all longer words)

[@jazzz3934]

There is a newly opened, last week, light rail between Orlando airport and Miami. It may help you guys!

[@ryansorenson1]

Love your videos and your attention to detail. When I think about modern décor, I think of places like the Cosmo or Aria in Vegas, and the décor of this room is not that. IMO this room is dated hotel furniture and carpet and reminds me of the Rio. That being said, what a huge room!!
