  • Today we have a day at sea on the Margaritaville at Sea Islander! We have brunch at the islander dining room, then eat dinner at JWB Prime Steakhouse! Margaritaville at Sea gave us this cruise for free, but that in no way influenced our opinion or review.

    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: 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.

    21:57 considering that volume of water and the fact that it went back to green after this I would think that they probably just shocked it with chlorine and/or algaecide. It’s amazing how fast those can clear up a pool and also how fast a pool can get gross again.

    Dinner Time Question: While editing your videos, have you ever had to cut something out because of a crazy passenger in the background or something going on in the background?

    • @Views-And-Queues
      @Views-And-Queues  3 месяца назад +3

      this is a good question! the short answer is yes. our main camera, the DJI Pocket 2, has a super small screen, and you can’t see what is in the background. Unfortunately there’s been a few times when someone was right behind us, so we had to cut those segments out. They weren’t doing anything crazy though, it’s just awkward and distracting

    22:31 Brian grabs the ice cream with his hand, stares at the spoon woman in the eyes, and takes a big bite. After finishing the bite and asserting his dominance, he maintais eye contact while knocking the spoon from her hand. A low, primal grunt leaks from his tightened jaw. Confidently, he walks back to his table of fries. Wet, brown skid marks across his face, he situates himself for a relaxing afternoon.
