Creator's Key Takeaways

we just boarded anthem of the seas for a seven night cruise to norway we're here in southampton england and we are so excited

we've never tried the key before and um we just wanted to try it out and see if it's worth it going into this i will say we are expecting this to not be worth it but we just wanted to try it

this is the j4 aka spa junior suite which is our favorite room that we've ever stayed in in a royal caribbean ship

windjammer on quantum class seems to be amazing agreed and it's even better to eat outside

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the Key if it's only a few dollars more than the internet for the fast internet and early boarding.
โœ“Visit the sports deck on day one or two to book North Star or iFly experiences.
โœ“Bring your own ducks for a themed cruise.
โœ“Pack sandals for the pool and hot tub.
โœ“Eat at the Windjammer for pub grub and watch sail away outside.

Hereโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜‚). 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 youโ€™re new to the channel, we have really dry, sarcastic senses of humor. So if youโ€™re questioning if itโ€™s sarcasm - it probably is. How do I ask a dinner time question? Leave a comment on any video and let us know itโ€™s supposed to be answered at dinner time. Weโ€™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 โ€œKeyโ€? Royal Caribbean has said itself that it is pronounced โ€œKeyโ€ 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, itโ€™s usually TJ Maxx, Kohlโ€™s, JCPenny or Old Navy. How can we support your channel? You can join our YouTube Membership!
