Day at Sea - Icon of the Seas Cruise Vlog
Today is a day at sea onboard icon of the seas! We tour central park, have lunch at basecamp, go to playmakers for a cookie, and eat at Hooked seafood.

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.
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 😂). 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: www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandq... (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: creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal.... 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: www.amazon.com/shop/viewsandq... (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.

Will Brian ever propose? He says he will, but 🤷🏻♀️

Navy Veteran here. As someone who has spent over a year of his life on the water and it’s been almost a decade since I’ve been out to sea, watching your videos has made me long for the day I can sail again. Thank you for your passion for cruising and looking forward to more videos in the future. Also a few dinner questions: What are your future cruise goals? Where do you you want to travel to in the future that you haven’t visited yet? Are there any cruise lines you haven’t been on yet that you are looking forward to sailing on someday? Thanks!
Thank you for all the consistently positive content! Once I had watched all your free videos I was so pleasantly surprised to find an equally large amount of high quality content just for members. I will say that while I, as you, often “don’t know” I do know that you two are very definitely cool!☺️
LOVE YOU GUYS! Your genuine, unscripted, silly true selves is THE MAGIC.
Brian and Kerry, love you both and your content in all of your videos. Genuine, sincere, and funny. We love bumping into your both. You are like besties. If we bump into you both, we are not going to be shy to ask for a group photo! 😊
As a fellow non-seafooditarian who has skeptically side-eyed Hooked this whole time, I appreciated that review from Kerry’s POV 😂
Finally vindication for the campfire cookie! 🙌

Curious what was the cost for the campfire cookie?
Absolutely wild feeling to be ambiantly listening to this video while walking my dog and suddenly hearing my name for the dinner time question! Thanks for the response! Great video, can’t wait for icon!
Our dogs, Roxy and Bob, say hi! They also watch your videos. Dinner time question: Will you guys be going on the inaugural Disney Treasure cruise? What are you most excited about it?
You're back LOL I was waiting for a new video.
It’s a good day when you drop another video!
Dinner time question: Which Royal ship has been your LEAST FAVORITE and why? (Love your videos!) : )
Dinner looked great! The cheese pull to the 18th deck and Kerry wanting the show to get canceled had us cracking up 😂
My sister and I are still working our way through all of your videos from the beginning. We are at Dubrovnik at the moment, You both may us laugh so much, please never change!!🫶🏻
ich liebe Eure Vlogs 🥰... danke dafür 😘
I really have to say I absolutely loved your dinner convo at the Aquadome. As an avid Royal cruiser I really appreciate your breakdown of the differences between the voyager, freedom, oasis and icon classes. Great vlog!
Let’s talk about how they don’t have 100k subs yet that’s insane
You two are so real and it’s really refreshing seeing to watch! Love your videos 😊
We are missing you guys!
I love the infinity window! The footage of you two in front of it is so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing never change
Your Videos are amazing, you are both so much fun, that desert looked fantastic and deserved to be in the Hall of Fame! Cant wait to sail on the Icon 🛳
My wife and I watched you guys before our first cruise for our anniversary last year (Symphony 7 night Western Med) and now we’ve been coming home every night from work saying “Did Views and Queues post anything new?” 😂
Kerry's face with the fish sandwich is soo me! hahah!! 😆
Yes!! Hall of Fame!!! Campfire is my favorite!!!
Fun fact: the ice cast/skaters wear transmitters for the spotlights and such to follow them. I watch a crew. youtube channel.
Hahaha i did nearly the same project with but with soda...
My husband strolled thru and thought Brian was Michael Longfellow from SNL😂💀. ⚓️Dinner question: What is your priority for booking a cruise? ( price, destinations, checklist ship, amenities etc)⚓️Thanks for the lol and another great video.
We waited in line for the ship signing, it moved pretty quickly, this was our third cruise with this captain so we had to do it lol
Love watching your videos. Keep it up!
How amazing! By far my favorite vloggers because you truly enjoy every moment!
Miss Kerry, you are so freaking pretty...it just needed to be said.

Classy, too!
Team 2 lunches!!! Also that merch is fire. We regret not shopping as much.
Love your videos! ❤ dinner question: As much as you love Starbucks, you know you can link your stars to Delta and get free sky miles? We do and travel just as frequently. ❤🐤
Dinner Questions. When will you Cruise with Kyle Palo, Jojo's World and the Tracker Family.
Omg, just found out that Rosa Mexicano at the Dolphin Hotel has your Churro Mickey waffles!!!

wow we’ll have to investigate!
Thank Goodness! I thought I was hearing things in the pearl, glad it wasn't just me.
Love watching your Cruise videos, always make me start looking at booking one
That duck was almost Overlooked
Are you guys looking at doing another Disney cruise soon?
That was a cool duck find. Also, I am convinced now that you never put condiments on your hotdogs. It's maddening.
Would you consider putting a date or what month/year you guys sailed on so it makes more sense when we're watching? I'm binge watching from the beginning and it would be nice to know what time of year you sailed in for my cruise planning reference :D
That’s actually super dangerous to give you a sandwich with shellfish that you didn’t order 😮 looks delicious though and I’m sure that’s what I would’ve ordered but still.
That cookie - yummy!
Thank you so much for these videos from Icon the ship is amazing!!😀😀🎉🎉🎉
Love watching all your cruise videos, you guys are Great!!⚓️
We've just discovered your channel and slowly working through all the videos! Particularly enjoyed your thoughts on all things English when you departed Southampton for the Fjords. We also have a question for a future video: Why do you call a Gus, a Gus? Looking forward to your future travels!
Brian is right on the croutons! Those croutons from Hooked seem more like homemade ones.
More awesome content guys! …. Although…. I am inclined to start giving both of you the iconic Larry David critical gaze when I keep hearing about these suspicious Nutella & Avocado allergies!?!👀👀..😂 … you’re both the best and awesome seeing you on multiple other Vlogs on the cruise🫶🤟👍👍

babeeeee! views and queues posteddd!!!
Always a great day to catch a new upload from you two!!
i love you guys you both seem very cool and are amazing tour guides
I've never been on a cruise, and we want to go soon. I love the early morning vibe. Were you able to go into hot tubs before 7am? What time do you get up, 6 am? When do things open generally?
Here we go!!!🎉
You two are awesome! I can hardly wait for my cruise adventure this summer!
Hello! I'm newer to your channel but love all of your videos so much. I was wondering if you two would ever be willing to try a Princess Cruise Ship? I know your loyalty lies with Royal and you also love Disney but curious to see how you would compare Princess to the other two.
Dinner time question: If you could build a dream team of specialty restaurants (from ANY cruise line) for a new hypothetical ship, which restaurants would you choose?

this is a good question!! palo steakhouse is definitely going to be included
Love watching your vlogs! Dinner time question: would you ever consider going on cruises in Asia or Australia? Would love to see that content
I love your plant experiment! We did that in school. One listens to recordings and one we sang to 😂 they taught us about photosynthesis that way ( the one we sang to thrived btw(
Dinnertime question: why did you decide to start a KZread channel?
We went on our first cruise last week on Liberty. The first night I told my husband that we needed to go check if we had a Gus! He was so confused.
Love the Icon series..makes me so excited. We are sailing in 30 day on the 3/30 sailing (then the utopia in October). Curious, would you guys do the infinite balcony again? It seems to be such a controversial cabin type!
Love the videos! Have yall considered trying Virgin Voyages?
Would love to see y’all go on a Bermudan cruise if you haven’t already! I’ve been researching cruises there and would love your expert opinion!
There's seafood in your caesar dressing 😂
There it is!!!! The lost footage of the thumbnail......the prophecy is fulfilled!

@@Views-And-Queues we still feel special. My 7 am coffee and cruise time ☕😁
4 year anniversary I will put it out there sorry mate but it’s time to ask the question 💍
Wow with the prevalence of shellfish allergies that is a very bad mistake for him to have made though.
Dinnertime Question: I've been reading that it's best to book a cruise through a travel agent. Is that really necessary? What are the possible pitfalls of booking it on your own (especially for new cruisers)?
Dinner time question I live in the UK and really want to go on a cruise which one would you recommend for a first time cruise going from the UK
We sail on her in September. I noticed you guys had quite a windy day. How bad was the motion on the boat towards the front of the ship? Our cabin will be right at the 1/3 mark from the bow. Thanks!
What is your favorite class of all royal Caribbean cruise ships. And which class would you recommend for a first time cruiser/ and how many days?
Dinner time question: What 3 celebrities you would want to spot on a cruise?
No ketchup or mustard on the hotdog!?
You guys have to own tons of Starbucks stock as important it is to you
Why is this literally being released A FULL MONTH after filming. Is your editor potentially a Sloth pretending to be a human on fiverr!! 😂 PS. Love your cruising content though, so still watched it!
What would you say is the best time of year to go on a cruise to the Bahamas?
hi i wanna ask im planing to go for cruise for 1st time with my friend. If we book room for 2 does cost split by 50% or will both of us pay full price? thanks for answer in advance.
Did they not replace your fish sandwich with a chicken sandwich in the MDR?

Brian finished his and Kerry just decided to get one at Basecamp, so we didn’t ask for a replacement

Did the campfire cookie get revoked from the hall of fame? It isn’t on the new list on the views and queues website.
