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!
That’s so funny, I know there were so many people watching this thought the same thing about the FLIES, because I definitely thought it.
Just want you to know, you are the only vlogger that has explained why the ship is so far away and why the wooden walkways are elevated, so very well done on a great blog.
Others have mentioned it. Superenthused also posted today.
@@Bruceadventuresawait great will take a look
@@Bruceadventuresawaitshe talks like she’s talking to children. Can’t stand it
Agreed! No one else is talking about the conservation efforts that Disney clearly thought about. Great job making note of that guys!
It's not true 😅 Jackie with Super enthused, also explained it.
Best cruise vloggers out there. Super detailed info and always entertaining. Thank you for putting out such great content.
Great first look. The number of flies was 😱😱😱. Not sure I could have eaten that food. 🪰🪰🪰😂😂😂
Nope…I couldn’t eat that food. They’ve got a year to fix it for our cruise😁
Womp womp
I was going to say the same thing, there was so many flies on all that food. I would’ve never touched it. The giant rice dish had flies just chilling deep in it 🤮
Yeah I saw that and I was ahhhh no! I have never seen flys on the food like that at Castaway Cay.
I love this video and playing spot Kyle Pallo is fun too lol ;)
I appreciated you stating that Disney was committed to protecting the environment here! Maybe that will help people understand why it was designed the way it was! Great content! You both have great positive energy!! Love it!!
It reminds me of when Animal Kingdom opened. The trees and vegetation were just planted and not full yet. Kind of sparse with not much shade. It will be even more beautiful as the years go by. I wonder if it will always be one ship at a time.
I was thinking you’d be there at the exact time to Kyle and Casey and then boom there they were at the merch and then at the smoothies at the same time
I saw Kyle and Casey too!
Thanks for sharing! Interesting how it seems to be a much quieter and chill spot than castaway.
I think cause it’s so spread out plus they are on the Magic which has less people.
Thank you for sharing the island.. love the wooden walkway boardwalk. VS walking around in the sand throughout the whole island. Very nice concept
Awesome video! I'm surprised that the pier is basically a grey, concrete walkway for 1/2 mile without any sort of theming, color or shade, especially since this is the first thing you see when you get off the ship. They made Lookout Cay itself look great and well-themed, so it seems jarring in comparison
Btw, kudos to whoever made the graphic/map of the private islands at 0:37, it looks awesome
Hello! Robert here! So nice meeting you guys and so happy to spot myself in the background of this video. 😂 You two were just as lovely in person as you are in your videos! The island was so magical and it was so special to be some of the first on it! 🎉 Happy sailing!
Great vlog today!! Also watched Main Street Duo’s review as well where you two made a special appearance. Great to see you were able to spend time with your friends.
I was on the lookout in my sub feed for Lighthouse videos and was so excited to see your video! I especially loved that you guys added in the maps for perspective. Can’t wait to eventually experience it for myself!
Mac and cheese with flies you say?
Thanks for getting this out so quickly!
Y’all were on top of this one! Loved seeing the new spot, looking forward to many of your adventures there in the future
I spy Casey and Kyle Pallo great video as always
Lookout Cay looks amazing 🤩 🎊
Looks beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
All the flies flying around the food, nice lol
You are not only first but the best at showing us everything! I like how you explained the why to what I see as madness ( like how long the bridge is ).
Yesterday’s reports gave me anxiety and yours makes me excited to go again (I literally was ready to cancel our cruise yesterday🤦🏻♀️).
Looks very pretty can’t wait to go one day. The flies though 😬
Thank You for actually doing something other than shipping and eating , snorkeling 😊
That walk !!!and then a tram ride . Not sure about this one.
Yay! Excited to watch this!
Had to come watch this one again since you just released Boarding before visit to the island.
I love when I watch some videos, I see Brian and and Kerry passing by and get caught on screen. I just saw two other channels I follow get caught on this one. I know creators dont all know each other but its kinda cool to see our favorite creators on each others videos by mistake....
Great video you two. Great graphics with the map that y'all added.
Nice video on Lookout Cay. As an FYI, I saw “Kyle Pallo,” fellow TH-camr in part of your video. He and his GF are on or were on the same cruise.
As always, best review that’s out there. The water there is beautiful! And I love the elevated walking areas. That walk off and back on to the ship 😳👎🏻. I’m so sensitive to the heat so this might just kill me 🤣
Yayyyy….no 30 for clicking like after seeing you posted 13mins ago. Love you both. Very informative vlog. Will be sailing Disney Wish in Sept 2024 and (wish) the ship would stop by Lookout Cay
Wonderful video, as usual. I didn’t even realize that Disney had another private island. Also, that water looks exactly like the water in MSC‘s Ocean Caye…just in case you ever want to try them out.
Private shmivate. You had me at "churro waffles."
Great video!! Looks so fun. You were in a cameo on another TH-camr’s video!
this place looks incredible
Lookout cay definitely looks beautiful..great video guys and it was very informative..just wondering if you know Kyle pallo and casey
I think they would get along quite well.
I don't mind the walk, but for families with little ones and older people, they should have a tram on that pier. That is crazy!!
So agree.
Agreed. With little ones after long day at beach could be a problem. I see that
WDW lol
That will be a crazy long walk at the end of exhausting beach day. If you bring the kids then think about bringing a stroller.
It absolutely BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
Great video I liked the fact that there was a lot of shade!! The flies around the food looked awful😱😰😱
I think y'all passed by Kyle & Casey on your way to get your smoothies...lol. I only watched your video!!! Great job ❤
Great reviews and comparison to Castaway Cay. I wish Disney put the sun shade or roof on the walkways. I love the gorgeous beach and better foods. Can't wait to visit in Sep!
😮 the moving map is back!! Enjoy your sea day in Nassau! lol
haha yeah, had to show where the area is! Thanks, we already had churro waffles!
@@Views-And-Queueswere the flies as bad as it looked around the food?
Oh I see you answered that at the very end 😂
Oh my gosh!!!!!! You guys are superhero’s for getting this out so fast. 🥰🤩
video took over 12 hours to upload on the ship internet 😅
@@Views-And-Queues not surprised given DCL’s wifi 🫠 Thank you both!! Don’t stress yourselves getting the rest of the cruise up. We’ll be here!
I feel dumb are y’all on this cruise ship 🚢 now?
I was about to say the same about DCL internet, lol
Super enthused also posted.
Love your videos! Saw Kyle Pallo and Casey!
Based on the reviews I’m seeing, I’d like to wait a year or so and let Disney work out the kinks. I’m looking forward to visiting in the future! I’d like to do one of the itineraries that goes to both beaches!
So love your guy's videos!!!! Thank you. So what are your sunglasses brand?
Just watched Kyle’s video. Would’ve rather seen yours first!! 😢😂.
at 1:43 you can see Kyle and Casey
It's funny because I saw Kyle and Casey in this video😂
Turks and Caicos has those dunes as well. I think it has to do with being on the Atlantic maybe? Not sure it isn't like that in the Southern Caribbean where I have been.
If yall have kids some day, it would be nice to see you all on a Disney ship
I saw someone went to tue lighthouse. So im not sure if it opened up later or they went even though the signs said it was closed
All that extra protein on the the food! Hmmm yummy.
The kiddi..area is adorable
A 1/2 mile walk from pier to island and no shade. Disney could have spent a little more to add a canopy on the pier. Hope the food is free at the beach
It BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
I have that bathingsuit. looks much better on you than me LOL
Ahhhhh!!!
Kyle Pallo spotting at 12:28
Nice catch lol
I spotted him a few times lol
@@mrspartan671 weird thing to just randomly say.... creep
Why is everyone Kyle Pallo spotting on this video?
What do you do with your valuables for safekeeping if both of you are off doing things?
Pretty sure the song was Bundle of Joy from Inside out 😊
dinnertime question: do you rotate your Starbucks You Are Here mug collection to enjoy using them and remember your time when you got each? Or are there just so many now and it’s a (prized) collection to be admired but not really used?
did you two run into ben and david while you were there, they were on that cruise too
Outside of Views and Queues, Ben and David are my faves!!
We saw the flies too. Was it as bad as it appeared on your video?
lol I see my other favorite vloggers Kyle pallo and Casey in your vid!
I think the island will be really nice in a couple of years when all of the planted things grow in. Now, it looks barren and almost like a desert. The walk will be too much with no cover but even that I could deal with but the flies…nope. That was more than the usual it seemed. No way would I be eating anything there.
Dinner time question: I know you all like other ships better than the Disney Wish but you seem to have so much more fun and are so much happier when you vlog a Disney Cruise. If you had to rank your top 3 cruise experiences purely from a FUN perspective, what would those be?
You walked the pier and still looks like you were walking to go the tram. How long is the
walk and time from leaving ship to get on tram. Saw another video where it took them 25 minutes just to get on a tram from trip. Also every video I have seen have mentioned FLIES.
lol great video thanks
Walk from the ship to the trams BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS!!!
Question for dinner….. Now that you have been to Disney’s new island resort, how would you rank the private resort islands including the other cruise brands?
Rush Out Gush Out (water slide play area) is for all ages
I noticed all the flies around the food as well. 😝🪰
I thought the pier would look more exciting like Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Overall there doesn’t seem like much to do unlike perfect day, but perhaps the Disney goal was for education and relaxation. Very different distinctions between the two brands.
I love the cup… how much was it?
Yo! Those flies on the food. I’ll take a zero.
What do you guys do when you're not cruising to avoid gaining a ton of weight with all the food onboard?
Too Spicy? Sounds like my ideal chicken sandwich 😂
Just means you have to go back again when it's done! We went to CocoCay before it became Perfect Day! Haven't gone back yet but we will in February, kinda sad Royal just came in and took over everything and got rid of that cultural aspect. Might have to hop on Disney to do this when it's done!
Love Disney and the Island is beautiful but this looks very Mid. I’m used to what Royal Caribbean offers at Co Co Cay but hopefully with time they can add some more spark to this place.
Did I see Steff from Sean and Steff?❤awesome video friends
Great vlog. How did they not have everything on the smoothie menu? As first guests on the island….Disney do better.
I keep seeing Kyle and Casey lol ❤
Intestinal myiasis occurs when fly eggs or larvae previously deposited in food are ingested and survive in the gastrointestinal tract. I think you might want to consider just eating on the boat.
Lou Mongello sighting at 26:26
Odd that there’s no effort to provide any shade on the walkway to the ship/island. I feel like Disney could do a better job creating shade from the sun across their properties-it gets so hot especially with the sun reflecting off the hard surfaces.
Brian! has anyone told you that you look like a young charlie sheen? Lol😂
You should have checked out the Media areas. I think you qualify.
How do you guys always manage to be the "first" to do everything? Is there a secret you can share?
Work
Nope! Not eating any of that food,Looks delicious but with the flies all on it makes it nasty.
I googled why a cay isn’t just called an island, and I don’t think I realized that a cay is an island completely formed on top of a coral reef with sand made mostly of plant and animal bones 😳
fun stuff!!! 27:38
and, I saw *all those flies* at the food stations... Yum!!
Lookout seems like a very nice beach experience but, not a particularly Disney beach experience. For how big it is, I expect that multiple ships will dock at the same time.
Enjoyed the video! FYI-Walking straight into the surf with your flippers on is a recipe for disaster. lol. I found that walking backwards into the surf or even better putting the flippers on once you are past the surf break works best. Love the video!
Is this the first video for this trip or am I not seeing another video?
uploaded this one out of order because everyone is excited to see what the new port looks like!
@Views-And-Queues totally get it, just wanted to make sure i didnt miss one...because somehow I missed everything from the beginning and went back to watch it all.
Thanks for all you do, happy Sunday!
@@Views-And-Queues I am so sorry...just finished the video and it clearly says we will show you rest later...LOL clearly i am impatient and should have waited till end🤣🙈
Dinner time question: how did you come up with the name of your TH-cam channel?
Gotta say, I miss the charm of the architectural style on Castaway Cay. This new destination looks like every other stop in the region, but doing things like everybody else seems to be a trend these days...
If the beach is public, how do they distinguish passengers for the food places? Do they make you wear Disney wristlets or show your ship ID?
Only Disney would make you walk a half a mile to take a tram to where you need to go and charge you 3xs the price.
Universal would never!!
Please please please tell me where you got your minnie mouse swimsuit
Did you meet Ben and David?
Super Enthused Jackie and Sam @ 29:28
The flies around every dish 🤢
I want to see Views and Queues do MSC and that private island (which personally looks the best) to see the difference. Could likely find a Yacht Club room for the price range of the Disney or Royal Cruises as well.
