Creator's Key Takeaways

we're in a sky class Suite we get to order room service from the main dining room

the ship has more art than the Louvre has paintings

Hooked was good my messy sandwich was not messy at all but um I was a little underwhelmed

what is this thing on the top deck because it's a weird looking thing it's not a satellite

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Tell your stateroom attendant if you want a paper Cruise Compass
βœ“Bring your own toiletries to avoid the high markup in vending machines
βœ“Check the app or email for theme night schedules to help with packing

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Dress code confusion β€” Royal Caribbean should email specific theme night schedules (formal, tropical, etc.) before sailing to help new cruisers pack appropriately.
Fear of cruising due to Titanic associations β€” Modern cruising is very safe; don't let movie tropes deter you.

YouTube Video Description↓

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.

Here’s the link: https://viewsandqueues.etsy.com/listing/984490829/royal-caribbean-scratch-off-poster 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 πŸ˜‚). 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: https://www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandqueues (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 β€œKey”? Royal Caribbean has said itself that it is pronounced β€œKey” in a FAQ of their own here: https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Perfect_Day/18062757_Trade_Perfect_Day_FAQs.pdf. 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: https://www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandqueues (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 YouTube Membership!
