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 🤷🏻♀️
You two are cute and amazing. I absolutely adore your energy together. Your smiles and enthusiasm are contagious.
Omg finally! I feel like I wait in excitement for your cruises about as much as I do mine! 😂
Hi, Brian and Kerry! 😊 It was so fun hearing your answer to my question and watching you reminisce about your fondest cruise memory thus far! The Norway cruise looks like a dream! Can’t wait to enjoy the rest of your adventures on this cruise! 🎉
Thank you for asking the question! This cruise definitely created a lot more memories for us! We’re excited to share the rest of the videos
Ah! A new set of cruise vlogs! I love watching your videos, they're always so fun and humorous.
Yaaahhhhh, really nice to see you guys back on a Royal Caribbean ship. Can't wait for the rest of the journey.
Great content. Love that ship. That's one of my most wanted itineraries too. Thank for the videos.
I loved the plug for the Views & Queues merchanise! Really well done.
My wife and I love your videos!!! Can't wait to see the rest of this cruise!!! Keep up the good work
Aaagghh, Southampton! This is awesome! I live in Ireland and will probably do my first cruise from here to check if I have sea legs or not. So, so, so looking forward to this series. Thank you xx
Another awesome video. Thanks for posting always!
We love your cruise vlogs! 2 things, so cute how you walk to avoid the glass floors, Kerry lol and I too never knew about the whole cruise vlogging thing until my husband introduced me to you guys via TH-cam to try and persuade me to want to go on a cruise. 😊 Now we eagerly await your new vlogs.
We always talk about cruising to Norway. Now can watch your videos of our bucket list cruise.... so going to be moved up the list. And thanks for explaining more about the key. Again love your video's.
We jus booked this cruise for July next year, so excited…thanks for this video
Hi so happy to see you guys cruising again
Have a safe trip.
Sweet! Only 6 min in and I have already received some "Fun Facts"! Thank you Brian (and Kerry👏) I knew I could count on you. I'm looking forward to more. 😃❤️
New episode of vlogs and more humor and knowledge to learn lol love y'all's videos
OMG I was shocked to see you were going on a Norway cruise. I can’t wait to see the rest of your cruise. I may have to plan one 😊
How cool to sail out of Southampton! Interesting facts on the Titanic. I’ve been to a Titanic exhibit and the eerie sadness that comes off the artifacts is creepy. Love following along on your adventures. 💙
Nice vlog. My mothers uncle (my grandmas brother) Stig Nilsen has been a captain on this ship and many other with Royal Caribbean for almost 30 years. He is still a captain at RC, but now doing the Ultimate World Cruise, the longest cruise in the world. I’ve never been on a cruise myself, but looks like a lovely experience. Cheers.
Brian and Kerry y’all are so cute together! Thanks for sharing your cruises with us. It will be one of dreams to go on my first cruise and randomly see y’all 😂💯🙌🏿. Blessings
Hi from Australia! Brian mentioned about going into TH-cam and checking out cruising well that’s how we found you!!! We want to go on our first real cruise and came across your channel and now have started your channel from the beginning for some great tips and seen a few we must do! Keep the great content coming!!!
A cruise to Norway is on my ever growing bucket list! I’ll be taking notes 😀
Hey guys! We love your videos and have watched most of them already. We have always been Disney cruisers but realize there are other cruise lines out there. I love that you can compare and contrast between the two lines. Just wondering if you would consider doing an RC tips and tricks or similar video for Royal Caribbean? Thanks for your great content!
Glad I found this. We were on this cruise also. It was an amazing cruise, with great scenery. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the vlogs..... and to see if I can spot myself 🤣
Thanks for sharing your great adventure!
My friend did this cruise this summer - I was already jealous - more now I’ve actually seen!
I love your channel. I've just discovered it recently. I'm in Scotland and was considering taking a cruise not from the US so really interested in this one
Loved this!!!
The merch bit was classic! The pub grub looks great!
what do you mean, "bit"
That wasn't authentic?
kidding, ha!
I love watching yall cruising all over the world and showing us your ventures . I'm in s Central Texas
My husband and used to cruise all over western Caribbean on Carnival. I will be cruising next May w/ a childhood friend in Miami on the Horizon. Can't wait.
Love your vlogs. You guys are hilarious. Keep it up.
😂😂 As soon as I saw your instagram stories that you were on Anthem I just knew my question would re-appear. So happy to see you uploaded again. Great video as always
Oh my gosh! I’m from Southampton, discovered you guys recently and I love your content!!
Keep up the good work it was good to meet you on the ship it made my day your amazing
It was awesome to meet you too! 😁
Loved your little ad for your merch 🤣🤣
Hello new subscribe love your vlog,I live in Southampton and didn’t know about the restaurant in the museum 😂,looking forward to the rest of the series thanks ❤
Always loving the knowledge drops. I hope you get to see the northern lights
Unfortunately we didn’t get lucky enough to see the lights. So I guess that means we need to book another cruise to try again 😂
Looks amazing! We would love to travel to Norway!
Yay new vlog!!!!!
Our first cruise back after covid was on anthem from Southampton because it’s our home port. We got a royal up to a grand loft suite it was amazing.
i stayed in the white star tavern, night b4 the cruise really nice bedrooms and restaurant, each room is named after a ship i stayed in the olympic room, i enjoy watching your videos, after watching this im excited about my cruise to norway this year.
We ate lunch at the restaurant there the night before our cruise! Happy sailing!
loved Anthem of the Seas! ugh I wish we could cruise as much as yall
We are going on this same cruise in June, I can't wait!
Hope you have a great cruise!
When I went pass the glassfloor stair case I couldn't help my self.... and I said out loud "Is that a crack?" And the lady on the staircase did the most brilliant tap-dance I have ever seen. I would have laught louder, but I was afraid she would smack me! :)
This has always been one of my dream cruises and people always make fun of me when I say that! 😂 can’t wait to watch the rest of the trip!
I was on the same cruise it was incredible I want to go back hahaha. Loved your videos
Went to uni in Southampton! Just been on a cruise to Norway and Denmark, beautiful counties.
Lol. Love the side hustle plug 😊
We were getting worried about you guys. Need a new post every week. Wife and I hope to run into you on one of our cruises. Good job and keep the show going.
Hello Brian and Kerry, we have watched several other travel vlogs but we absolutely think you two are the best. We have a couple of cruises scheduled this year but after watching all the videos on your Norway trip we decided to book one as soon as I could find it. Well, July 12 ,2024 we will be on the Anthem out of Southampton. I know it's a ways off but we got a Jr. Suite for a great price. Already looking forward to experiencing this trip which you two shared with us. Can't wait to see some more. Happy Holidays !!! Just wondering if you flew to Southampton or took a ride from London. How did you do it.
I love your vlogs. We aren't in a place to travel right now, with a baby coming soon, but we love cruising and live vicariously through your videos :)
Oh and you should sail on Navigator OTS sometime -- it also has a Johnny Rockets on the pool deck, and it is a beautiful and fun ship.
Navigator looks awesome! We would love to try it out and maybe visit Disneyland too while we’re over there in LA
Omg gonna be on anthem of the seas November 27 2022 and also April 23 2023.
Gonna be diamond after that. Both are gonna be solo cruise for me in a junior suite 😁👌
What? No way….that is so cool!
Omgoshhh…your marketing of your merch is so funny 😅
My birthday is coming up and my only request was your Etsy map! I’m going on the Harmony in December and I can’t wait to scratch it off :)
Norway!!!!!!! What a dream!!! 💛💛💛
I saw this ship a few weeks ago while sailing on another UK-based ship, and she looks absolutely STUNNING - great video!
@21:45 I can’t help but laugh at Kerry trying to be excited for fruit 😂
great video . more please , just subscibed from mick in the uk.
Im so late but so so excited! I am so happy to see y'all cruising in different countries. My dinner time question is... if you could both work any other job for 48 hours, which job would you choose and why? Love your vlogs!
This is a good question, we’d have to think about it. But if any cruise lines need some “secret shoppers” we’d sign up for that haha
I am an avid fan of your vlogs! Thank you for your sense of humor and attention to detail. My favorite moment was the Views and Queues promo plug until this happened:
B-Need a lemon?
K-No, not today
😂
B- We can spit onto all the passengers as they are boarding.
K- Aww, that's nice!
Great video ( English like sparkling water that’s news to me ) Carry on cruising
There is also a nice Titanic museum in Cobh, Ireland which was the port stop Titanic made before setting off into the North Atlantic…my daughter did a study abroad for a month in Ireland in summer of 2019 and she got to visit the museum and take part in an interactive experience where you’re assigned the persona of someone who was on the ship, a mix of the first, second and third class passengers (she was a cooking staff crew member who, in real life, actually made it off and lived until the 1950’s)
It is a great museum. I did that as well in 2017 and my ticket was a 39 year old 3rd class passenger that didn't survive.
Aaahh wonder if I’ll be in the background In any of these videos!!
That suite is stateroom goals! 😍 We are huge Titanic fans, so jealous you got to leave out of Southampton. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your cruise. Hopefully you were able to get those priceless items left in your closet back to their owner! 😂
Spa Junior Suites are the best! I think you guys mentioned going on the Disney Wish near the end of the year, just wanted to let you know we saw that some Cast discounts started dropping for the Wish today, you might be able to reprice
@@Views-And-Queues Thanks for looking out! We had been checking the discounted cruises obsessively and were able to get one at a great discount! We’re excited to be aboard the Wish next month!
Thanks for the info about the Key. We bought it for our trip on odyssey that sails next week from Rome. It was the same price as the fast internet!!!
That’s a great deal! Odyssey in Rome sounds amazing! Hope you have a great cruise!
genuine humans are awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dont stop
Done this same cruise 28th August. Such a great ship with great entertainment and staff that are brilliant. If Joff is doing the 70s show, please go. It is a absolute KO show from start to finish.
Norway is stunning. Flam my favourite port visit, and everything is easy to get too. The railway trip can be booked easily at the port. 5 minute walk to station.
These videos are from the August 28th sailing! Maybe you’ll be able to spot yourself in the background in one of the videos. We didn’t catch the 70s show or do the train in Flam, but we had lots of fun! Flam was our favorite too!
BTW I shung by your house yesterday when we docked at Canaveral. Was looking forward to meet you. But unfortunalty I tripped on you suffleboard peices and had to go to the hospital. Your dog thought it was hilarious
😂😂
Just watched your videos, we are going on the same cruise in May. Question for you, what did you video with, the quality is excellent.
Lol, the sparkling water, I agree!! yucky haha.
We had the Key once on Harmony of the Seas. Got it for the same reason, it was only slightly more expensive than the internet package. The ship though was only at 50% capacity so I felt like a lot of the benefits were not needed. I can see it would be more of a benefit on a full ship though. I will say that the welcome lunch was very good.
Missed these guise!
We spent a day in Southampton searching out Titanic history…there are memorials all over town. There’s one for the engineers, one for the musicians, etc. We were at one of them when an older gentleman came up to us and told us he had ancestors who died on Titanic, and he really appreciated us taking an interest in the memorials. That was a cool moment…
We also had a drink at The Grapes public house, where crew members used to hang out and drink. The famous story there is about a set of brothers who were workers on Titanic, but lost track of time and missed the ship, which saved their lives.
The history there was pretty amazing, especially for cruising nerds like my wife and I…
The grapes is an awesome place
Biran if you like the AR you gotta check out the Prima or the Viva with NCL if you havent!
Hey guys! We're enjoying your channel!!! You both are so informative for both on and off ship. We are headed to Southampton for cruise to Canary Islands in September.
How were your transfers from airport to lodging and from lodging to cruise port? Did you taxi, train, shuttle? Did you need to exchange currency?
I really enjoy your cruises, especially this one! My ancestors came from Norway and hope to someday traveling there! If you don’t mind me asking, how much did the airfare and cruise cost?
Really treat yourself and try a cruise down under in New Zealand the fjords down here are fire
Milford sound
What a lovely and funny video! Thank you. You're a Lucky girl, your husband is very handsome and charming! Love all the joker u both did !
I am turning into a regular fangirl. I get all excited when I know what your talking about from other videos. Like convincing Brian's mom you were groping a lady in a bikini (lol) and when Kerry opened someone else's key. Its like little Easter eggs. I cant wait to do a Norway cruise one day!
Guys I loved this video, could you link your backpacks please and thank you!
For sure! I only know the link to mine (Kerry’s) and not Brian’s, but I got it on Amazon, you can find it on our storefront here: www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandqueues/list/1R368RX23KS5Q?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsflist_aipsfviewsandqueues_003CVZRZKA1KAJ9ASJY6

So excited for you both! Was it easy to get to the port in Southampton from the airport?
kind of. We had to take a 2 hour car service from London. But it only took 1 hour on the way back
It's very true about the pools and people's acclimatization to cold or heat. I'm from Toronto, Canada and while in Vegas in November once....the only people in the pool were Canadians and Alaskans. It all depends on your geographical home and the weather there.
I was literally watching National Treasure right before this!!
Could it be that you embarked on the day I disembarked? It DID feel very cold in the terminal at one point. So it might have been you cool cats on your way in!
One day I will cruise from another country haha! It looks so cool to do that! If you have not, can you share what the price was for getting to the cruise and cruising overseas versus here.
I think you are right we British are more inclined to swim on colder days however personally not if the pools are not heated. Are any of the pools on Anthem heated?. Ive not long come off a Wonders of the Seas Med cruise and while in Barcelona and Majorca and south of france the unheated pools were fine as the sun warmed them up a bit but in Italy it was a good few degrees colder still very warm outside but the pools were very cold and thats a real shame as other cruise lines, Disney, Cunard, P&O do heat their pools. Wont stop me from sailing Royal Caribbean again but it was like sardines in the hot tubs and people stayed in them for ages as no one wants to sit in a cold pool. Great Vlogs by the way.
Your going to love Norway 🇳🇴
Hey guys, another question: Was there a limit to how many times you can ride the North Star or ifly using the key (or any of the other stuff for that matter)? Wondering if you can book both a sea day and a port day for the North Star?
Where did you find that Norway blanket at the end of your video? It's so cute.
We got it in the Norway pavilion at Epcot!
What was the process to actually get to Southampton,England? As far as flights?
We are looking into a family cruise in 2025. Looks like it's on Independence of the Seas. It's definitely a bucket list cruise for my husband and I.
Looking forward to watching all the videos to get some ideas.
Thanks!
Dinner question: what is your favorite onboard activity from any class of ship i.e trivia, karaoke, bumper cars, North Star, flowrider etc…
I really want to do this cruise and maybe do a side by side and do the British isles right after. How was the flight to London?
Hello, What room type did you stay in at the Pig in the Wall hotel and did they have airconditioning? Thank you
Flam is pronounced "floam" I do believe. Have a great cruise!
We are looking at booking a Norway cruise so this is perfect!! How did you narrow down to this specific cruise?
We chose this one because it happened to end right before Labor day, so it gave us an extra day off at the end. But we’re so glad we picked this one because we loved Flam and Olden so much
Would you think of going on a around the world cruise , that is four monthsv, two weeks long cruise?
Loving your videos. How did you get from London to Southampton...just curious....
They said in another comment..... they hired a car service.... was about an hour drive.
Hey, I have a couple questions about your Alaskan cruise. Did you see the Northern Lights and were you hoping to see them? Love you guys!
We didn’t stay awake late enough to try to see them, but our weather was probably too cloudy at night anyway
Hey guys! Love your videos. How’s the wifi on the ship?
honestly it’s not good. but Royal will introduce a faster internet service to all ships next year!
Dinner Question: Not sure if this has been answered or not since I am binge watching your series. But my question is - will you both be going on the Icon of the Seas when it comes out?
