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.

Will Brian ever propose? He says he will, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just can't get enough of these Norwegian ports - they're all absolutely stunning - like a postcard!

[@JellyJerryy]

The view at the glacier took my breath away!

[@eringarvia4930]

Going in July. Thanks for sharing.

[@mackenziebailey622]

Omg the waterfalls are so beautiful. I love nature so much. I’m planning a cruise when I graduate college to Norway.

[@Bruceadventuresawait]

We really enjoy watching your videos. We want to cruise Norway now.

[@staceyperkin2579]

You missed seeing/hearing the best sail away from Olden. The pub next to the ship blasts out music and the locals come out to wave flags! It's very cool to see!

[@victorw7292]

Yes! another awesome video for this week can’t wait for the next one! 🎉

[@David_Canada557]

What a beautiful tour in Olden, Norway

[@juliustravels]

Steps on the roof is for the chimney sweeper. The muncipality sweep the chimney every 2-3 years to avoid fires in the chimney.

[@davidharris8987]

Awe, we did that, but the lazy way and took the Troll Cars. I also had a little paddle in the glacier lake when I was up there. It was very cold... loved how it was misty and then lifted.

[@jeffthanson]

Well done you two - you are making amazing memories together!

[@Cooper-kk4uk]

You were so lucky with the weather,the weather was so bad in June we couldn’t even get into Olden.great video thanks

[@LeapingIntotheFairyTale]

I just found your channel and absolutely love you guys! I have become obsessed with watching cruise videos and yours is seriously the best! I'm not sure if someone already said this but, the rock stacks are called Cairns pronounced like the name "Karen". People put them up to mark the hiking paths in unmarked hikes so that future hikers don't get lost. It has kind of exploded now though and people love building them all over mountain areas. Thanks for putting up such great content!

[@merrymakingacrylicpourpain3243]

Thank you for these amazing videos!

[@granthill2408]

Great video, you were so lucky with the weather this trip.

[@karenball5522]

I went the 4th September and the weather was stunning the whole week. They had a really bad summer and the first 2 weeks of September was some of the best that season.

[@neilvids8421]

Awesome video, we just booked the same ship for June 2023.....Keep the vids rolling!

[@sandymetz8527]

Spectacular trip. After watching your trip this far I could easily move there. Mountains and water, perfect

[@karenkingrey6142]

I have loved the videos from this cruise soooo much! You guys did an amazing job sharing your time with us!! ❤

[@franciscohernandez6157]

Thank you for this great video When did you guys go we will be there in June can’t wait

[@Views-And-Queues]

We went the first week of September!

[@donnawilson5514]

We are doing a celebrity cruise there next August. We have enjoyed your Norway videos! Thanks!

[@dipatrivedi9009]

Loving these vlogs....makes me want to plan a cruise there, hopefully soon!!!

[@kayel4487]

Love that you brought a themed hand soap! Lol

[@kennethtchir4358]

Everything we like in a video. Great hike to a great spot - check, Port was good lots of interesting things - check, Exciting food and deserts - check and Trolls big - check. We have a lot of the rock piles here too some people build larger versions in their yard. Here we call them Inukshuk's. Anyway great video.

[@mckennavincelette6524]

Dang Kerry can sing ! Norway looks gorgeous, can’t wait for your Wish cruise vlogs!

[@Aldaronification]

Please take more cruises and produce more videos ASAP!!! I binged all your videos and have nothing left to watch on your channel.

[@edvaira6891]

So much of the scenery on your hike reminded me of the area around Lake Tahoe, which is equally gorgeous

[@takedownspecialist1767]

I have a Alaska cruise coming up next year and then Icon of the seas in 2024 but after that I think Norway is now on my bucket list. Great vlog!

[@thenameslynith]

This makes me wanna go to Norway so bad, but I just booked a cruise on the Icon! Maybe one day I'll get to go there too🥰

[@Porkchops18]

Just catching up on your videos now! Thanks for answering my question, makes sense about the pacing. MDR can definitely be slower, but I do love MyTime dining so at least I can show up when I want. Also just booked Icon, excited for that in 2024!

[@Views-And-Queues]

Thanks for asking the question! Congrats on the Icon booking!!

[@rosaral1985]

Wow that glacier looked stunning. This series is really making me want to take a Norway fjord cruise! Of all the excursions you've done - both through the cruise line and on your own - what has been your favorite?

[@Views-And-Queues]

This is a good question! Short answer is probably the rental twizy in Flam!

[@aprilschafer1710]

While answering the dinner time question, there was someone taking down a flag behind Kerry. Surprised you didn't mention the flag😁

[@juliustravels]

You probably visited on the best time. In july it is mahyem with tourists and norwegians.

[@2tickets1world]

Yeah they had to rock formation things in Tahiti too, we do them in Oregon all the time and some kid literally ran by a pushed them over -.-

[@kevinstrother8486]

The rock formations @4:23 look like rock giant knuckles. Lolz

[@hawaiisteel808]

hello i like video of Norway and i live in Norway

[@SmallTownTrekker]

22:41 Wonder how that sweet Lincoln ended up in Olden Norway.

[@andreatuckman1084]

Because of you, we’re planning this same cruise in 2024, as next year is already spoken for. Next year I see only one cruise date available which is in May. I find that strange. Anyway, nothing is posted for the following year yet.

[@Views-And-Queues]

It’s a great cruise! Our guess is maybe they haven’t posted the rest of the season to book yet

[@melissar.8704]

The stacked rocks are considered vandalism on an Indian reservation I was told while on tour at the antelope canyon in page AZ. I'm from AZ but was my first time going and we walked all the way through to an opening and there were stacked rocks. He was native and said it was vandalism to do that there and that he would let the owners know. Not sure why but I'll look it up.

[@recahsmith2681]

Love you videos. Did you have to pay extra for the troll cars or did that come in with the price of the tour?

[@Cooper-kk4uk]

So when are you going on the icon of the seas,looks great 😊

[@Views-And-Queues]

Icon does look great! If work allows for it, we would love to check it out soon after it starts sailing!

[@2tickets1world]

I want to go to Switzerland!

[@kubam1498]

So and hour up there? We’re going next year and I think we will visit here - our daughter will be 7. Troll car or walk.

[@tommykay7427]

Okey...if we are gonna start throwing around dad jokes.....here is one: When does a joke become a dad joke? When it becomes apparent!

[@donnawilson5514]

Is the ship always docked in the mornings on time and can you get off quickly?

[@2tickets1world]

They didn't have ornaments? Or ones on cups haha

[@candicemallory9232]

I had dream about a snake last night....classic...

[@TISTN1934]

Your current cruise looks AMAZING! Random question, have you guys ever cruised in the Western Caribbean and if not any plans to do so?

[@amberts180]

I was not impressed by the title, but this gorgeous!

[@anneim7853]

When did you go on this trip? Wow it is cold in the summer in Norway.

[@steinarhaugen7617]

No, it is not cold in the summer all the time, but it does happen. We grow apples in Southern Norway. It wouldn't be possible if it's cold all the time. This video is from this fall, not the summer.

[@anneim7853]

@@steinarhaugen7617 I see. Thank you for the information. Yes, I did notice that they purchased some Apple drinks in this vlog as well as in the last vlog. Well, it seems like a pretty time in Norway.

[@steinarhaugen7617]

@@anneim7853 You're welcome.

[@carolynwilliams2729]

Loved your post...but my hubby and I are taking the Troll cars..Check them out 🎉

[@karabuttery5934]

Please may I ask, at which point did the hike start? I just need a point I can enter into Google maps. Thank you.

[@juliustravels]

Rock formations made by tourists and locals are a big problem in Norway. It messes up the natural landscape. The ones you made by the fjord not a big problem. But people making them far into the mointains is not good.

[@tommykay7427]

i heard a rumor that you have applied for Norwegian citizenship and are going to change your names to Kerrysson? Can you confirm? 😃

[@2tickets1world]

Yeah my anxiety won't let me get in a twizzy lol no way no how ain't doing it lol

[@uba51]

Did the bus have a toilet 🚽?

[@Myjocalledlife]

What kind of microphone do you guys use? You’re so far away in the intro, you have to be using a microphone

[@tommykay7427]

Norway....or as we say in Sweden No-way! 😉
