After adding the wildly successful Guy’s Burger Joint to many of their cruise ships (each ship serves over 1,000 burgers each day), Carnival Cruise Line has opened a new Guy’s restaurant offering traditional smokehouse favorites.
The new Guy Fieri designed open-air barbecue recently opened on Carnival Magic and is a casual open-air eatery located on the Promenade Deck. The restaurant offers a wide variety of BBQ favorites smoked right on board over hickory and cherry wood. Of coarse, the Guy’s signature recipes, rubs, and spices are used. In a day and age where cruise lines are adding more and more fees, this new restaurant will be complimentary.
Fieri is cooking up real-deal smokehouse favorites like bone-in, dry-rubbed, slow-smoked and pulled Championship Pork Butt, dry-rubbed and grilled Blue Ribbon Chicken, smoked Andouille sausage and Sliced Smoked Round of Beef cooked “low and slow” and thinly sliced. A rarity on cruise ships, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse features a traditional wood smoker which was installed on board as part of a recent dry dock.
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse also features Fieri’s own unique take on traditional side dishes with deliciously creative offerings like Mac Daddy Mac n Cheese, Old Skool Potato Salad, Scratch-Made Slaw, Collard Greens with Smoked Turkey, and Molasses Baked Beans with Bacon and Burnt Ends. All items at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse will be available free of charge.
Diners can spice up their dishes with Fieri’s signature BBQ sauces, including Award-Winning Brown Sugar (sweet and sticky), Kansas City (smoky and sweet), and Sriracha BBQ (spicy and tangy) and Carolina #6 (tangy with sweet heat). A hot sauce bar, as well as a wide range of ice-cold beers and sodas, will be available, as well.
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse is open on sea days from noon to 2:30 p.m. and is part of Carnival Magic’s extensive multi-million dollar upgrade.
Other newly added spaces on Carnival Magic include two poolside bars – the RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar – along with the BlueIguana Cantina serving authentic Mexican tacos and burritos, Pizzeria del Capitano offering hand-tossed artisanal pies, the cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, and a “candy and more store” called Cherry on Top.
