Ten Reasons To Like Carnival Horizon, In Advance

Carnival Horizon debuts in the spring of 2018, complete with features introduced on sister Carnival Vista not long ago. SkyRide, the innovative bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction will be on board as well as an IMAX Theatre, a wide range of accommodations and more.  Among other new attractions for Carnival Horizon: Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse.  Good choice.  Here we have ten reasons to like this idea. 

I’m excited about launching my newest shipboard eatery at Carnival,” said Fieri. “I know what it takes to make real-deal barbecue – quality meats smoked ‘low and slow’ and top-notch sides using the freshest ingredients.  And when you combine down-home barbecue with a cold beer brewed right on board, you have a truly outta bounds experience!”

  1. Guy happens to be a member of the American Royal National Barbecue Hall of Fame.
  2. Fieri happens to have his popular burger joints featured on 19 Carnival Cruise Line ships.
  3. Carnival Cruise Line shipsGuy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse combines the best of both worlds: authentic, down-home smoked-on-board barbecue and traditional sides created by the renowned chef, along with a selection of distinctive craft beers brewed on board at a brewery located within the restaurant.
  4. Guy’s Smokehouse favorites such as brisket custom-smoked for 12 hours, Memphis-style baby back ribs, dry-rubbed and grill-finished chicken, pulled pork, and cedar-smoked salmon with an apricot glaze, all cooked “low and slow” using Fieri’s signature rubs and spices.
  5. BBQ fans can spice up their dishes with the chef’s own sauces, including Kansas City (smoky and sweet), Sriracha BBQ (spicy and tangy), Carolina #6 (tangy and sweet heat) and award-winning Bourbon Brown Sugar (sweet and sticky), along with exclusive-toCarnival sauces like Smokey Chipotle, Gold Coast Yellow Mustard, Black Pepper, and Burning Tomato.
  6. Paired perfectly with barbecue is a delicious and refreshing craft beer created by Carnival’s award-winning beverage team which includes Colin Presby, the only brew master in the North American cruise industry. Presby and team are developing four distinctive micro-brews specifically designed to pair with the venue’s wide-ranging menu.  Specific details will be announced at a later date.
  7. All Smoke House items are served with coleslaw, sweet pickles, and golden honey cornbread or Texas toast.
  8. The restaurant will be open from 5 pm ‘til late every night of the cruise with menu items offered on an a la carte basis and live music nightly.
  9. Decadent desserts like freshly baked cobbler, piled-high banana cream pie and gooey pecan pie offer a sweet conclusion to a satisfying and memorable meal.
  10. Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse|Brewhouse will offer a free-of-charge self-service BBQ lunch buffet from noon to 2:30 p.m. on embarkation day and sea days.
