Creator's Key Takeaways

This chicken sandwich was the best thing I've eaten this whole cruise.

The only downfall to this island is the tendering. It's a kind of a pain.

I would not probably do Prima class again.

The lava cake was so good. I ate it so quickly.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Wear shoes in line for the water slide to avoid burning your feet.
โœ“Use the tender boarding group system to avoid long waits.
โœ“Try the Baja spiced chicken sandwich from the food truck.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Crowds and lines on private island โ€” Get to tender early and use priority access if available.
Ship layout confusion โ€” Plan routes carefully; swimsuits not allowed in buffet area.

Today is day 7 of our 7 night cruise on the Norwegian Aqua! Today the ship is "docked" at Great Stirrup Cay, the island right next to CocoCay! We explore all of NCL's GSC and try every food option available for lunch!

It costs you nothing more, and we earn a small commission.) 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. 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!
