Staying On Board Independence of the Seas - Cruise Vlog 2022 - Royal Caribbean

[@cruisingwithev]

I think “Cruise Facts With Brian” needs to be a permanent segment! So interesting!

[@diesa522]

Don’t ever stop knowledge drops please! My husband and I have learned so much. We are preparing for my first cruise. Very excited!

[@jennaheim6264]

Don’t let the haters keep you down.. the more ship knowledge drops the better!

[@scooterpooter3682]

I can’t stop laughing at the fact that if you guys get married Kerry’s name will be Kerry Carey! Also, super excited for your Disney cruise vlogs!

[@ClaireandMichael]

We were laughing about the samething.

[@Views-And-Queues]

I’ve told Brian that I don’t want to be Kerry Carey so I’d probably keep my own last name haha. Hope you enjoy the Disney vlogs!

[@carriehoskinson1651]

I don't blame you, my name is Carrie also and I would not want to be Carrie Carey either 🤣

[@AshleyDoll90]

@@Views-And-Queues you could always hyphenate!

[@BeckyReynolds]

Been watching all your videos and I think this is the best evening Guss display you’ve had to this date!

[@borenkd]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much better the internet is on cruises now!

[@TeachHiddenInTheLeaves]

You guys are the most relatable couple I have ever seen on KZbin. I relate to both of you so much. You guys are introverted and give off that "I hate other people" vibe, in a nice way. Hahaha. 😂

[@Views-And-Queues]

Yes we are both definitely introverts! Glad that it’s relatable too haha. Thanks so much for watching!

[@canzukcitizen8005]

@@Views-And-Queues I would love to meet you both and have a game of shuffle board.

[@canzukcitizen8005]

p.s. another introvert here.

[@Vinyaernil]

We just got back from our first ever cruise yesterday on Independence and your content was so helpful!! I binged all of it before we left and we booked an Alaskan cruise on board for next year on Quantum almost wholly thanks to your experience and tips. It is also REALLY nice to see the alcohol-free experience because so many people seem to focus on binge drinking while cruising and, while we do drink a little, that’s not what we want to be doing on a cruise. Thank you for posting!! I will say, we did the beach club on CocoCay due to a mix up with our beach bed reservation, and I will never go back without it because it was so good so I am excited to see y’all try it!

[@drinkingpoolwater]

Is there anything better than cruise vlogs!??!! No, and you guys are top tier.

[@ADD30100]

Wow, that stateroom attendant went above and beyond.

[@bjbman54]

Great channel . FYI Jim Vanfleet was a meteorologist on channel 35 Orlando for many years. Also, google Jim Van Fleet and the Reign he had a country band also. Another little nugget of information he’s from Oklahoma.

[@jacobfuller5055]

please never stop the cruise facts!!!

[@JoseHernandez-vw7rd]

Brian Keep dropping knowledge we appreciate them and you both!

[@scotttravis8654]

I just started watching this channel and I love it! I've been subscribed for a month now. It's so engaging and informative. And what separates it from all the other channels is that there is so much chemistry. I look forward to more content!

[@Views-And-Queues]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@scotttravis8654]

Question! I was looking at all the Curacao excursions and they have weight limits. Have anyone ever seen them weigh anyone or do you think they would break out a scale to do any?

[@erika.m814]

Another great vlog! Thanks for taking us along! Cannot wait to see the Disney Cruise vlogs!!

[@WillyDays9999]

Just got my first block on Radiance of the seas will be getting my diamond plus and 2nd block in February 2025 on Odyssey back to back birthday cruise.

[@carriehoskinson1651]

I get a huge kick out of Brian's laugh 😂 and I enjoy his fun ship facts!

[@michaeltran5632]

We’re taking our 3 year old girl on her first cruise next April on the Independence. Can’t wait. Love your videos. Keep up the great job.

[@scotth1042]

Brian - you must keep dropping the Cruise knowledge dude! Don't stop!

[@charlenemorton8779]

Our cruise on Independence is this October, woohoo! Thanks for the vlogs!

[@StillPooh62]

Australian Gold makes a tinted mineral face sunscreen with SPF 50. It doesn't look like make-up; it just prevents the white caste. La Roche-Posay makes one too, but it's twice as expensive.

[@Views-And-Queues]

I just bought the Australian Gold thanks to your suggestion and I LOVE it!! Thanks for the advice!

[@TerryCowans]

Thanks for all the information about Independence. We go in Sept 2022. Love your videos.

[@G_gachoka]

Will definitely find the library Duck as I am joining Independence for work 😀

[@EverydayGetaways]

Thanks for sharing your adventures! We are enjoying following along.

[@joannatassin3238]

OMG your first crystal block!!! I'm so jealous and happy for you!!!

[@carolwozneski2646]

I love this ship

[@brianparisi1551]

Dinner question here for your next cruise! What are the pouches you two wear around your necks? Are they to hold your phone/boarding passes? If so, super smart idea!

[@jamesg8818]

I’d like to know too please!

[@Views-And-Queues]

A lot of passengers choose to wear lanyards for their sea pass cards, but we use them to carry camera stuff.

[@patriciahowell7913]

I love watching you guys! Thanks for sharing!

[@charlenemorton8779]

That etched glass block is SO COOL!!!!

[@Mrswoo42]

I love the cruise ship facts!! I’ve never been on a cruise, I’m 36, but I absolutely love your videos! I’m definitely putting a Royal Caribbean cruise on my radar.

[@Views-And-Queues]

We’re happy to hear the videos are still interesting to you as someone who hasn’t gone before! Can’t wait for you to try it out!

[@carolwozneski2646]

Your room is huge !

[@tommykay7427]

Greetings from Anthem of the Seas. Day 11 of a 14 day Mediterranian cruise. Hang on....wasn't there a sofa in the cabin when you got in? What? Ooooh.....below the pile. Got it! ;) Totaly agree about Solarium. But isn't it strange that the pools a better/larger on the Quantum-class ships than on the much larger Oasis-class ship? One of my few gripes about the Oasis-class. Happy 4th to you both! Looking forward to see what you think of your Disney experience. May the force be with you my young padawans!

[@Views-And-Queues]

Hope you’re having a great time on board! We hope to sail on Anthem very soon! Hahaha yeah we trash these staterooms 😂 And yeah totally agree about Oasis solariums

[@stephaniejeffrey9611]

You guys are great!

[@reubenco]

On Norwegian if you don’t get the premium wifi it isn’t just slower, it actually blocks anything it considers a streaming site. It is one of my few complains about the experience on Norwegian - I fell behind on my podcasts!

[@MrJPackerFan]

We'll be on Indy for the third time later this year! You both are so fun to watch!

[@vtcolin]

How do you guys stay so interesting for so long?! Haha! Another solid upload.

[@robertatkachuk2891]

So happy you got 5 “Gus’s” in one day! Enjoyed the video! Definitely looking forward to your Disney Cruise Videos! Disney is our favourite cruise line, but living in Canada the exchange rate is very high, making Disney very very expensive. Looking at trying our first Royal Caribbean Ship next year. My husband has MS and is in a wheelchair full time, so it was great to see your accessible stateroom. Having a hard time deciding which Royal ship to try. Thanks for dropping all the knowledge Brian!

[@Views-And-Queues]

So glad the accessible room was helpful for you to see! We love the Freedom class, Quantum class, and Oasis class on Royal Caribbean. Disney was so much fun, but even without the exchange rate it’s expensive! Thanks so much for watching and hope you find a great cruise to go on!

[@aishaabdullah6993]

Ovation is coming here to Australia and I'm on the South Pacific cruise. Can't wait for their windjammer ☺️

[@Views-And-Queues]

That sounds like a dream cruise! Hope you enjoy!

[@AndrewEllestad]

We are going on our first royal cruise next year. Found you guys while searching for tips. Thanks for the great content!

[@Views-And-Queues]

Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy your cruise!

[@kennethtchir4358]

Another great video. Yeah Nassau been there too many time we stay on the ship. Now we say Nassau great relax day. Interesting thing about internet speed. At home we have fiber optic our speeds are really fast. 900mbps. So we usally say we are on vacation and dont need internet for a week or so. I'm on android and I find if you go to airplane mode then reconnect the speed seem to get a boost. Not sure if this happens on OAS. Once again love your videos.

[@luisalugo9903]

Haha hope to find the duck… I will be there on August 🥹

[@kerry7713]

New to your cannel. Love you r videos! (My name is Kerry too.)

[@Views-And-Queues]

You have an amazing name 😉 thanks for watching!!

[@nancyenjay7966]

Just found your channel, great videos! We're going on Independence in May so I've been watching all your related videos. Just wondering, do you guys ever eat in the main dining room? Thanks

[@Views-And-Queues]

Hope you have a great time on Independence! We do sometimes, but we like the other dining options more

[@flamingdelta9853]

im gonna be working on cruise ships next year!

[@rleyva40]

On independence of the seas right now and just got 58.54 mbps with the better internet. Not sure if they improved it since y’all went .

[@kamato25]

Can you guys post what cameras and such you guys use? The sound quality is really good!

[@kirksweitzer9148]

Thanks for the great video and droppin' the knowledge. Lookin' forward to the Wish videos. Are y'all on that vloggers cruise in January?

[@Views-And-Queues]

We can’t wait to share the Disney Dream videos and then the Disney Wish videos later in the year. We didn’t know about a vlogger cruise, but we probably already have more cruises booked then we can actually go on 😆

[@ksessa1010]

I love the knowledge drops. Have to ask, if Brian ever pops the question will Kerry be taking Brian’s last name? Caught that on the certificate :).

[@Views-And-Queues]

I told Brian that I don’t want to be Kerry Carey haha so I’ll probably be keeping my own last name (IF he EVER asks the question)

[@seacats3598]

Atlantis is $250 per ticket ($500). I saw a hack by cruise vloggers where they booked the paradise hotel for $350 for the day and got 2 tickets to Atlantis included in their booking. You may want to try that. And I like it when you drop knowledge. It’s fascinating. ~Inge 😺

[@Views-And-Queues]

Wow that’s good to know!

[@alpheusOne]

I'm sure you've mentioned the origin of the rubber ducks. Is it bc you are in tech, or does it have another meaning? Also, do you ever find out what happens to the ducks you hide? I wonder if the cruise ships have a whole bunch of ducks in lost n found. lol

[@andreatuckman1084]

I like the knowledge segments

[@mariae153]

Hi, I been so many times in Independence of the Seas and I still don't know how to enroll in the Club Royale? Could you help me with that? Thank you.

[@carriehoskinson1651]

Hi, First thank you for the great vlogs, second, wondering what the pouches you wear around your neck is for? 😁

[@kevinjacques5837]

AWESOME video. Do you guys play pickleball.

Yes we love pickle ball! But we haven’t had a chance to play on board yet

[@albertybanez5195]

Ok guys of all the ships which is your favorite

[@rjove6]

Will you guys by any chance be on the inaugural cruise on Allure sailing out of the new Royal Caribbean terminal in Galveston, TX in November?

[@Views-And-Queues]

No plans for it at the moment, but it seems like Royal is making Galveston a great place to cruise from!

[@PeterSF-no6no]

HI I found you two about 2 weeks ago and have been watching ever since, I know you live in Florida, how did Ian affect you two?

[@Views-And-Queues]

Glad you found us, thanks for watching! The neighborhood we live in Orlando made it out pretty lucky, no damage or power loss. Other places nearby had lots of flooding, but luckily we didn’t get any of that.

[@redbluenine7971]

I just got off allure today 😢

[@chasecruising]

I was on the same cruise! we didn’t go to curacao and got two days in Labadee

[@Views-And-Queues]

time to book a new cruise then!

What are the black pouches you wear around your neck?

[@timneal3929]

Did you guys get jipped out of the Lavazza coffee maker in the jr. Suite?

[@Views-And-Queues]

It looks like we did, but we don’t use it anyway

[@timneal3929]

@@Views-And-Queues I was surprised at how good it is, if you haven’t tried it give it a go. It is amazing! The Blue Crema is wow!

[@dianeroper1891]

I wonder what is the rectangle bag that you almost always wear around your necks?

[@Views-And-Queues]

A lot of passengers choose to wear lanyards for their sea pass cards, but we use them to carry camera stuff.

[@jennaheim6264]

When are you heading to Europe for a Med or Baltic cruise?

[@Views-And-Queues]

We would love to do a Mediterranean cruise sometime in the next year or two!

[@JR-yr9tf]

Do you guys purchase travel insurance through Royal or do the refundable deposit when you book?

[@Views-And-Queues]

Good question! Normally we don’t do either. When we do the math on the refundable deposit, the risk/reward doesn’t seem worth it most of the time. But we did actually just purchase annual travel insurance with Allianz instead of buying it per trip through Royal.

[@patriciahowell7913]

What are the black purse’s around your neck?

[@Views-And-Queues]

Kerry went to school at USC, but Brian didn’t, so he doesn’t know as much about the Gamecocks 🤙🏼🐓

When Musk finishes his Star Link network, everyone will have high speed internet on cruises.

[@tommykay7427]

You mean when Elon Musk finishes his work on SKYNET and we all have to fight for the survival of the human race! :)

[@jamesg8818]

Please keep the ship facts going. Also, I know you two are the anti-social travelers (New channel name maybe? Lol) but have you thought about organizing a group cruise anytime in the future? Or joining one of the other group cruises organized by other KZbin cruisers?

[@Views-And-Queues]

We’re definitely more introverted and anti-social haha (love that idea for a channel name!) so at this time, we aren’t going on or creating any group cruises.

[@ellamaurergraduation]

WHY has this taken soooo long?...literally boarding day was posted 2 weeks ago!!!

[@lyndseycarter1071]

Probably because they both have full time jobs and editing videos takes a super long time- especially all the graphics and what not.

[@aixalisdiaz1020]

They have full time jobs and family. Also, sometimes they can take up to a month to post so, buckle up 😂.
