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... (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..... 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... (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 🤷🏻♀️
Was just thinking last night "I wonder when the next Icon video will drop". And here we are!! Excited to watch!
SO TRUE!!!
Hideaway Beach clearly is meant to cater to the Virgin Voyages crowd and looks like it does a fantastic job. It will be very popular, even if it’s not really my vibe either. Huge thumbs up if that’s you.
Virgin voyages doesn’t come to coco cay though….
Brian, I agree with you, I personally don't like loud and rowdy music either. I prefer the quiet as well. When you can hear the waves hitting the shore, it is incredibly relaxing. I wouldn't be happy about paying to get a headache. With that said, I now must say, I love you guys!! You are an awesome couple!! I just love going to dinner with you!!! ❤❤❤
Sad to see the Icon series end, it's been great living vicariously through your videos. Don't think Hideaway beach is my jam, but I'm glad that it exists to add capacity to CocoCay. Looking forward to see what your next cruise is!
So sad this is the end thanks for taking us along with you on the amazing Icon of the Seas!!👍😅😍😍
I saw Brian in another person vlog for this sailing and was like, “look it’s Brian at the new section, can’t wait to see his version. Thanks for the videos, you guys are awesome.
100% not weird we are like "old" too there's a time and a place for loud music haha. I want to relax at the beach not have a party but I understand other people do.
I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for allowing me to vacation vicariously through you guys!
Thank you Brian and Kerry for bringing us along for your vacations ❤
Another great memory thanks to you. Where you were on the quiet island with the rocky front and the docks in view, I believe that used to be one of the cabana areas back when you had to tender to the island. We had a cabana there, back in the 2015 ish years and it was a blast. Nothing like those new ones, and we did suffer back then. We had to walk to the bar behind the cabana to get our drinks. lol. Thank you again. Cheers!
I came across your channel when researching for our last cruise last month, you guys are so authentic and amazing. I plan to go back and watch all your videos to see what ship I want to sail on next 😄
so glad I found you guys, I thought you talking all the time would be too much but your conversations are ALWAYS awesome and funny haha. You show us all the stuff that we should see and all the fun stuff too. You guys need to blow up 🙂
With regards to the crowding at hideaway, I have to imagine there’s a correlation between people who love cruising enough to get on the inaugural sailing, and those who pay to see hideaway first. I’d be really curious to see what hideaway Crowds look like a year from now
So glad you still had this last video! Was kinda sad when Peter and Kitra ended their series but remembered you guys still had your finale! Nice Saturday surprise!
We loved hideaway because the pool is heated. It was so wonderful in February and we definitely stayed at the opposite end of the dj.😊 we definitely prefer quiet as well. Great video!!! We love watching them❤
12:37am in Sydney and here’s me watching your Vlogs!
Come on - that’s commitment!!!!
You’re not alone Brian. I’m not a fan of loud music! Steer clear of it!
Bernie
Great job comparing Hideaway Beach and Oasis Lagoon. I don't think any other vlogger has done that comparison.
Excellent thx guys... ya'll are my favorite vlog couple by far...keep up the great work!
I love your expression “Rope drop” ❤
I’m subscribing just for your obsession to pizza alone in this video. You guys do great videos, love watching
Thank you! Whenever I try a new pizza place, I get a slice of cheese. In my opinion, it’s the baseline of all their pizza.
Absolutely love your videos, you guys have the greatest times together. True inspiration. Keep up the great work. Quick question, where do we get lanyards like the ones you guys have?
Awesome video. We are just like you guys with the relaxed vibe. We canceled our hideaway beach last week. Thanks friends!❤
Love your beach bag! Thank you for having it in your Amazon store!!
When I ordered the Shack Crispy Chicken sandwich in Nov I ordered it “the secret way” and they knew exactly and did it up right. So YUM!!
I went on Icon last week and loved it. By far my favorite ship as well. We never got off the ship only in cococay to eat lunch at snack shack and then we got right back on 😂 Can’t wait for Star of the seas!
Great Icon series, absolutely loved every upload ❤
Great vlog guys!!! I miss Hideaway Beach and can’t wait to go back!
Coffee & Views and Queues! 🌅
Or Brews, Views, and Queues!
LOL "Lookathat. Lookathat. Lookathat." LOL
I believe the pool at hideaway is heated. Should have dipped your toes in pool to check the temperature. 😊
Going to Hideaway on my cruise in a couple months so I’m glad to see your experience!
I should have got off the ship that day. Everyone was there. I stayed on because I’ll be back this month and next.
I love these videos! It's making me excited for my icon cruise in May!
Was on a UA-cam cruise channel playlist while doing accounting today (so moreso listening than watching) happened to glance up at a moment in a Ben and David video and went “hey! Is that Brian and Carey??” and it was!
I am very grateful for your videos. Going on a cruise is my biggest dream, but here in Brazil the prices are high and I can't afford it 😭 When you share your experiences, I feel like I'm on the ship with you, I feel like my dream is coming true ❤️
This is my favorite cruise stream.
been checking every day waiting for this last post thx you two you do an awesome job
Did I miss you talking about the Celebration table or the Empire Supper Club?
Keep it up! You two are my secret addiction for cruising!
South beach is our favorite section we are the same we just want to chill and relax
Great video, I agree with you, was at coco cay before and got a lot of unwanted attention at the pool bar. Keep up the great videos!
Yayyyy no. 6 to like this video. Thank you for the nice door magnet Kerry and Brian
Great vlog Brian and Kerry. And thank you for the Amazon link to Kerry's clothing. My girlfriend is very happy about this! And we felt what you felt on the last day of the cruise. We can definitely live onboard the Icon forever
The Oasis Lagoon no longer has a DJ. It was the party pool, but no longer has the same vibe. It's more family friendly now. People pay for the adults only, Las Vegas party atmosphere at Hideaway Beach. That's the difference between the two. If you want a laid back swim up bar, the Oasis Lagoon pool is now the place to go.
They managed to get A LOT of work done on Hideaway Beach just since we were on Coco Cay on October 5th…the area looked like a really rough, not-even-halfway done construction nightmare zone!
I'm with you guys I like a quieter environment no loud music.
great video!!!! thank you for sharing
Cannot wait to be off work so my boyfriend and i can watch!
Chill island is the place to be. Funnel cake is amazing, yep the ice cream is much nicer than on the ships. Love perfect day 😍 at coco KEY 🤣😂❤️ although in touching 60 I have been like you Brian I just don’t like the loud crazy places even when I was 30. Sure love a great party now and then but chilling out is the way 🥰😍
Keep up the great work guys 😍
Guys burger is the best burger I’ve had so far on any cruise line
Booked it for our cruise when it went on sail for $18.99/person. Can’t wait. I’m not a Vegas poor party type either but I’m sure we will love it. Also the swim up bar pool is heated
There used to be 6 mozz sticks, you are correct.

I went to cocay on allure of the seas a month ago. I prefer the beaches on chill island for the same reason. I prefer a quiet, relaxing vibe over loud music.
I was at Coco Cay last month and unfortunately there was no DJ at oasis lagoon. I guess he is now in hideaway, I was pretty bummed about that.
Congrats on 30k!!!!
Thank you!!
The no kids aspect is worth the price of admission for me!
On my icon sailing on 2/24/2024 the dj by oasis lagoon was missing! So instead of oasis lagoon after lunch we just beach hopped for free !
In our typical selfish society all those chairs and day beds saved while nobody is actually using them.
When you are walking into Coco Cay through those tall skinny poles, it kind of looks like you are walking through a giant stylized rib cage.
Dinner Time Question: After cruising on the Icon what are some improvements that you would like to see on Star of the Seas? PS. Rover is so amazing.... awesome that you guys got to meet him!
It's the theres hideaway crispy chicken sandwhich (hyperventilating) "is it different I don't know" that does it for me 😂
Hi, are the chairs @ coco cay plastic or fabric? Thanks & Love your videos
Can you pick your own balcony room
I lived the concrete update. Kyle couldn't do it any better.
Is there wifi on the island?
The obvious thing you’re missing is that hideaway pool is heated!! Swimming in Oasis lagoon is like a titanic experience! Hideaway is amazing because of the heated pool period. Nothing else at Hideaway makes it worth it.
whats the name of the song at 38:31?
You didnt go into the heated pool. That is why you book hideaway beach during the winter months.
The other ship must have let their passengers off first. We were just there on Friday, the 15th, but had a Day Bed which we love (Chill Beach). I like to be close to the water for snorkeling, and based on your video, you can't swim thru the rocks to the ocean. And at different times of year or even days, it could be pretty rough. Thanks for the video.
Hey guys, I need some advice from the best cruisers I know. So for my birthday after this birthday (lol) I might be going on a cruise. This year I am already going on Utopia for a birthday cruise. So I have a few options and it’s Jewel, Utopia, Wonder, and Freedom. All but freedom are doing a 3 night. Freedom is sailing a 5 night to Labadee and Coco, I don’t know what to choose. I need your help deciding. I have been on freedom but I like that itinerary. I haven’t been on Jewel and wonder but will be going on Utopia. What do I do?! thanks guys.
Dinner time question - Would you ever consider sailing on a Carnival or NCL ship? And if so, which one. If not, why not? (I'd love to see you guys try out Carnival Celebration)
Win win go to Maldives and get the overwater bungalow with the private pool and the slide into the ocean haha
You guys should have a podcast
Would you rather book an infinite balcony or an ocean view room?
It's a perfect dee at coco cay?
❤❤❤❤
I've always heard it's called the "Secret Sandwich " I saw on Griff & Alyssa's Vlog a couple of years ago. And the Snack Shack already knew what it was when you ordered the secret sandwich. Maybe it depends on who's working that day. Cause they are pretty popular! (On vlogs)
Second I think I would save my money not go to the Hideaway Beach. We're kinda quiet when it comes to our beach time.
What’s the Coco Cay Coco Key dilemma? We watch every video, but is this an inside joke? Am I missing something? Love your videos and your relationship ❤️🩷💕
PRO-TIP: With Hideaway now open the Beach Club was empty even with two ships docked. Pony up the $$ and RELAX. 😉❤💯✌🏻
Looks like more pay options food which is a pain
The infinite balcony is the biggest mistake RCI has made. I've never seen one review that actually say "Oh I love it!".
IDK - I feel like I have watched every Icon video ever, but it still doesn’t appeal to me. The Treasure is the one on my radar, hope to see you all cover it!
Haha Kerry prefers the cabana until she sees Ordinary Adventures video and it’s full of party people 😅
Am I wrong but the chocolate ice cream you got looks like the chocolate you got on Anthem.
i think you’re right!
Please I’m begging you say coco cay not coco key 😂 love you guys so much!!
❤
Beach side, Cabana side, Or next to a Slice of Paradise Side ?
Honestly glad to see you give Hideaway a thumbs down, been on the fence but I also hate loud music, I want to relax and refuse to pay for the Beach Club anymore for what they are charging now. Guess we are staying on the ship now lol
Brian and Kerry, am I hearing right? At the HideAway beach you had to pay $3.99 for a slice of pizza?
$Free.99! we were just messing around, it’s free
@@Views-And-Queues thank you ❤️
Not for like 7k the cabana lol
I think I’d pay for Hideaway just for the heated pools during colder months, because you can’t get that for free.
I feel like their version of Adult's only is Vegas style - not tranquil style
Lol ❤❤❤❤
Not trying to be mean but why is it important that the Starbucks staff knows your name..? Just curious, great video!
That Cabana is like 2k...ridiculous
I think it's lame to pay for it
LMAO I think after college age the loud music gets really old. I hate bars where you have to scream at each other to hear You should totally make a collage of all the photos. I think the no kids thing is because some people just don't want to deal with children which is fine.
Instead of going on that island where everything is overpriced and overcrowded I would stay on the ship with all the facilities just for yourself 😂
