Today we have a sea day onboard Symphony of the Seas. We explain how to play shuffleboard, try Hooked Seafood for dinner, and find out what is that thing on top of Oasis Class ships. This is Day 2 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.
How can we support your channel? You can join our RU-vid Membership! You pay $10/month and we upload video content that is exclusive for our members. / @views-and-queues
Will Brian ever propose? He says he will, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hate formal nights, especially while cruising in the Caribbean. I dress up at work and on vacation I want to relax and dress comfortably. I prefer the MDR to Windjammer for dinner so I’m glad RCI has a more relaxed dress code for formal nights.

Thanks for explaining the rules of shuffle board to us! We have played on our cruises in the past but just made up our own rules hah Donnie, Kerry, and Brian’s mom would form a super team of Friends trivia surely to come in first place! Our jaws hit the floor when we saw the price of the Pokémon cards! 🫣 Always appreciate Brian’s cruise facts!

Dinner time question: Hey Brian and Kerry! I've been binge watching your vlogs, so thank you for the brilliant content. I've never gone on a cruise ship before and am a bit anxious about how it feels. How does it physically feel to be on a cruise ship? Do you constantly feel the feeling of the ship moving? Is it something you get used to after a while? What is the difference between the feeling you get on rough seas vs. smoother sailing? Thank you!!
@Views-And-Queues
@Views-And-Queues Год назад
This is a really good question! We’ll add it to our list to answer at dinner! Yes you can almost constantly feel it, but you get used to it! After the first day you can forget you’re on a ship! When the seas are super calm you sometimes can think you’re docked because you can’t feel it at all. If you’re anxious about it, look into a Freedom Class or Allure of the Seas for a 3 night sailing. Most of those sailings are in port every day during the day, so you will only feel the movement at night. Also get some bonine or dramamine and you will be good! And to answer the last part, on rough seas days, you notice it all day, and think about it a lot. But those days don’t happen too often and most of the time you get used to it and forget about it!

I've only been on three cruises so far but I'm completely addicted and can't wait to get on my next.
