Carnival Cruise Line Guy’s Pig & Anchor Menu
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse brings Guy Fieri-style barbecue to Carnival Cruise Line with smoked meats, hearty sides, desserts, and a few alternatives for passengers who want something other than traditional BBQ. On Carnival Celebration, the restaurant is located in the Summer Landing area and offers a sit-down dinner experience in addition to its casual BBQ offerings.
The dinner menu photographed during our Carnival Celebration cruise features brisket, pulled pork, chicken, sausage, salmon, ribs, prime rib, and the massive Pig & Anchor Melt. One particularly important detail for Carnival Celebration passengers is that Carnival currently lists Guy’s Pig & Anchor as an alternative to the Main Dining Room that is included in the cruise fare on Carnival Celebration, Mardi Gras, and Carnival Jubilee.

Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Dinner Menu
The heart of the Guy’s Pig & Anchor dinner menu is the Smoker Aces section, where passengers can choose among several smoked proteins or one of the restaurant’s specialty dishes.
The meat selections shown on this menu include:
- Blue Ribbon Chicken – choice of dark or white meat
- 18 Hour Brisket
- Smoked Pulled Pork Butt
- House Cheddar Sausage
For anyone who has trouble choosing just one type of barbecue, the menu offers plenty of variety between beef, pork, chicken, and sausage.
Carnival says the restaurant’s meats are smoked onboard using hickory and apple wood, making the smokehouse concept more than simply a name. The venue was developed in partnership with Guy Fieri and combines his BBQ recipes with Carnival’s casual approach to cruise dining.
The Pig & Anchor Melt
One of the most substantial items on the menu is The Pig & Anchor Melt.
This sandwich combines:
- Pulled pork
- Sliced brisket
- Bacon
- Smoked Gouda
- Cheddar
- Pickles
- Donkey Sauce
That is essentially several of the restaurant’s signature BBQ flavors packed into a single sandwich. For passengers who want to sample more than one meat without ordering multiple separate entrées, the Pig & Anchor Melt is one of the more interesting options on the menu.
Maple & Chili Salmon
Barbecue does not necessarily mean that everyone at the table has to order beef, pork, or chicken.
The menu also lists Maple & Chili Salmon, described as lightly smoked Atlantic salmon.
This provides a seafood alternative for anyone dining with a group that wants barbecue but who would prefer fish over the traditional smokehouse meats.
Guy’s Pitmaster Ribs and Prime Rib
Below the main Smoker Aces section are two premium Guy’s Pitmaster selections that carry an additional charge.
The St. Louis Ribs are described as Memphis style, marinated for nine hours, and slow smoked. The menu lists:
- Half rack – $10
- Full rack – $17
There is also Prime Time Prime Rib, described as Texas inspired, generously rubbed, and slow roasted:
- 8 oz. – $12
- 16 oz. – $20
These charges are important to notice because the rest of the dinner experience may be included depending on the ship, while these premium Pitmaster selections are separately priced on the photographed menu.
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Side Dishes
Each diner can choose any two sides from the menu.
The available choices are:
- Carolina Slaw
- Crispy Onion Strings
- Mac Daddy Mac and Cheese
- BBQ Beans with smoked pork and beef trimmings
- French Fries
It is a straightforward lineup of classic barbecue accompaniments, with everything from slaw and beans to mac and cheese and fries.
Desserts
The dessert menu keeps the Southern and BBQ theme going with several familiar comfort-food options.
Choices include:
- Bourbon Banana Pie
- Apple Cobbler
- Mississippi Mud Pie
- The Backyard Brownie – $5
The Backyard Brownie is specifically listed as an additional $5 item and comes with hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream.
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Kids Menu
Children have their own small menu, with each selection served with fries.
The photographed kids menu includes:
- Mac Daddy Mac N Cheese
- P&A Slider
- Chicken Tenders
That gives families several simple options for children who may not be interested in the full barbecue menu.
Is Guy’s Pig & Anchor Included on Carnival Celebration?
This is where the details can become confusing because Guy’s Pig & Anchor does not operate exactly the same way across every Carnival ship.
Carnival currently identifies Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse as an alternative to Main Dining Room dinner on Carnival Celebration, Mardi Gras, and Carnival Jubilee, with the regular dinner experience included in the cruise fare on those ships.
However, certain menu items can still carry an additional charge. On the menu photographed here, the St. Louis Ribs, Prime Time Prime Rib, and Backyard Brownie all have separate prices.
The menu also states that a $5 surcharge applies for a third entrée or more.
Passengers sailing on other Carnival ships should check the current dining information for their particular ship because pricing and inclusions can differ.
Guy’s Pig & Anchor Lunch vs. Dinner
Guy’s Pig & Anchor also operates for lunch, but passengers should not assume that lunch and dinner are the same experience.
Carnival describes the lunch offering as a complimentary BBQ buffet featuring several of Guy Fieri’s signature smoked dishes. Dinner is a sit-down experience with a dedicated menu and table service.
That distinction is useful when planning your Carnival Celebration dining schedule. Visiting for lunch does not necessarily mean you have already experienced everything available from the restaurant at dinner.
Service Charge and Other Menu Details
The photographed menu includes a few additional notes passengers should know before ordering.
It states that an 18% service charge will automatically be added to your order and that the previously mentioned $5 surcharge applies when ordering a third entrée or more.
The menu also includes Carnival’s standard food allergy notice and advises guests to inform their server of any food allergies.
As always, prices, policies, menu items, and service charges can change, so passengers should check the menu available during their own sailing for the most current information.

The regular menu covers the major BBQ bases with brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and sausage, while the Pig & Anchor Melt combines several of those flavors into one particularly loaded option.
