Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been on a lot of Royal Caribbean cruises and we go on a lot of Oasis and iconic class cruises.

I'm not going to be jumping back onto a Radiance class ship unless it's a good itinerary.

The highlight of the cruise was the Royal Beach Club. So good.

It's better than being at work.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Try the smaller Royal Caribbean ships if you prefer less crowded environments, but be aware they may feel more crowded due to smaller spaces.
βœ“If you're on a Radiance-class ship, consider booking it only for a great itinerary with cool ports.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Feeling crowded on smaller ships β€” The ratio of guests to public spaces is the same as larger ships, but smaller hallways and elevator banks can make it feel more crowded.
Ship age and maintenance β€” Older ships like Radiance may have rust and fewer amenities; consider newer ships unless the itinerary is exceptional.

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 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!
