Creator's Key Takeaways

That was the best moment of my entire life.

I would do it again.

This is insane. So, we're taking a little break on our trail now.

I'm so excited for Glacier Bay tomorrow. It's literally the reason we booked this cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't pick a state room near the elevator banks because it's too noisy is incorrect information; choose near the elevator for easy access.
First-time cruisers should budget extra for specialty dining, Wi-Fi, and other extras beyond the base cruise price.
Older, cheaper cruise ships may give a wrong impression; opt for newer ships for a better experience.

Picking older, cheaper ships for first cruiseOlder ships may give a wrong impression; newer ships have more features and better experiences.

YouTube Video Description

Today the Royal Princess cruise ship docks in Skagway Alaska! Where we do the ultimate dog mushers experience: including dog sledding, meeting the puppies, panning for gold and eating s'mores. After that we explore the town, go on a hike, and eat at the Red Onion Saloon Links: For exclusive videos, join our YouTube Membership! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWrPt9sIiGKvX1LBX58G9Q/join Our Etsy Shop: https://viewsandqueues.etsy.com Our online store: https://viewsandqueues.com Our favorite cruise food: https://www.cruisefoodhalloffame.com Our Amazon Store Front: https://www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandqueues (Full disclosure, these are affiliate links.

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 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: 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!
