Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse - smoked meats and sides, free of charge
New dining and bar concepts including Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse, Alchemy Bar, BlueIguana Cantina, Pizzeria del Capitano and Bonsai Sushi are now aboard Carnival Dream.

The venues were added to the New Orleans-based ship during a makeover at Grand Bahama Shipyard.

Guy's Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse, designed by Food Network star Guy Fieri, is an open-air, free-of-charge venue with a menu that includes Championship Pork Butt, Blue Ribbon Chicken, Smoked Andouille Sausage and Sliced Smoked Round of Beef, and Fieri’s own take on traditional sides like baked beans and slaw.

The eatery joins the popular Guy’s Burger Joints featured on Carnival Dream and 13 other Carnival Cruise Line ships.

The poolside BlueIguana Cantina offers complimentary Mexican fare including freshly made burritos and tacos on homemade tortillas, plus a toppings and salsa bar.

The Alchemy Bar is presented as a 'cocktail pharmacy' with mixologists dressed in lab coats who prescribe' concoctions from different elixirs and ingredients.

Pizzeria del Capitano serves five kinds of hand-tossed, artisanal-style pizza, available 24 hours and free of charge.

And Bonsai Sushi is a full-service restaurant offering sushi, sashimi, bento 'ships' for two and beers and cocktails from the Far East.

Carnival Dream on Sunday resumed its year-round schedule of weekly cruises from New Orleans. The three itineraries include two western Caribbean options: Montego Bay, Cozumel and Grand Cayman, and Roatán's Mahogany Bay, Belize City and Cozumel. Plus, a Bahamas/Florida route visits Key West, Freeport and Nassau.
