CRUISE LIFE VLOG: Carnival Dream: Guy's Pig & Anchor and Tea Time - Day 2: Part 2

We made our way down to deck 5 for lunch at Guy’s Pig & Anchor Bar-B-Que Smokehouse. You can smell this place before you can see it! It has a wonderful smoky BBQ smell that the sea breeze picks up and carries around this area of the ship. It was early so the line wasn’t very long and we had our food in no time. They have the service set up where you choose your meats and sides and it is all arranged on a metal plate and handed to you. You can try as many things as will fit on your plate. Jason & I decided to split things up and each get half of the offerings and we would share who we can try everything! Jason’s plate consisted of chicken, sausage, brisket, mac & cheese and baked beans and mine was pulled pork (with a bun), sausage, potato salad, coleslaw and baked beans. There are also four different kinds of BBQ sauces: Bourbon Brown Sugar, Carolina #6, Kansas City & Spicy Sriracha. Some we liked better than others but overall it was all very good! Our favorites were the chicken, andouille sausage and the mac & cheese… that mac & cheese was incredible! Best thing by far from this Oceanside bbq joint!
While on deck 5 we decided it was a good time to take a walk around the ship… and I mean all the way around the ship! Deck 5 has an outside deck that goes all the way around! So from Guy’s Pig & Anchor we walked towards the front where it is very windy but you can get the most amazing views from the bow of the ship… I still want to sneak past the ropes and go to the front point to get that Titanic-I’m-the-king-of-the-world shot, but alas it’s not allowed. Good to note that this deck is very quiet away from the Promenade area and a great place to relax and read… or nap! But on around and to the back of the ship. THIS is my favorite view on a cruise… standing at the back of the ship looking off into the horizon of never ending water and seeing the ‘tails’ made by the propellers is breathtaking! Some ships have nice shaded areas in the back where I can sit for hours watching this view.
We make the full trip around deck 5 and head into Promenade for a coffee and then to explore the ship for a while. We end up back up top on deck 11 for more views of the water until it is time to eat again…. HaHa, I know it seems like all we do is eat on board… but well I guess that is true on sea days. Off to Tea Time…. If you have never done Tea Time on a cruise then you are missing out! Carnival offers this every sea day in the afternoons about 3:00. It is like an English high tea with small sandwiches of cucumber and salmon and some of the best desserts on board! These are far superior to anything at the buffet and are equal or better than what is available in the main dining room. Today they had a fruit tart with Nutella on a flaky pastry crust that was to die for!!! And of course there is tea, or hot chocolate for the kids who do not like tea. For a special treat this time, there was a three piece strings group who entertained us with nice easy listening classical music… and of course Jason makes the comment once they start playing that he feels like he is on the Titanic  (Yes I realize that is the second Titanic reference which is a complete no-no on a cruise!!!) We have a toast to our family and sit and eat and drink and enjoy our tea time. PS - Cameron stole the chocolate cake off my plate when I had my head turned to listen to the music.

Hi, praise the Lord to all of you. I love n like to see all of you that how are you enjoying. It's lovely,

[@rickyke2549]

how's the food am drooling

[@liajohnson685]

This couple is simply adorable I love both of there personalities she is really a doll but omg Jason is soooooooo damn cute and hot. I loved this video I mean I really enjoyed this video of you guys for real . Thank you 😁

[@caelangoss]

Do a video on carnival horizon

[@keeperzero]

The thing I don't like about cruising is the mustard drill my cousin Earl seems to think it's the muster drill but I'm pretty sure it's the mustard drill

[@1131982vincent]

if you want to experience titanic go on a cunard cruise!

[@expeditionangie]

Does NCL do tea time?

[@EECCTravels]

No :(

[@DonnaAnderson1]

We went on this cruise in May, I was really not a fan of the BBQ but the Mac and Cheese was the bomb, I had to try it even with my lactose problems. For the most part most of the food on the cruise was great, Guy's Burgers yes, yes, yes. We went to the Steakhouse for the first time on a cruise, it was well worth the extra price, the meal was wonderful, so treat yourself if you decide to go. Just eat really light that day prior to going.

[@EECCTravels]

+Donna's Journey agreed some of the meat was hit or miss, not bad but not great either.... but that mac & cheese! Definitely the beat thing by far! And we love Guys burgers too, so good! Never tried the steak house but have heard nothing but good about it, will definitely have to try one day!

[@joemichaels4231]

We have been on The Dream twice....loved both!! Thanks for the great Vid!!!

[@ShaileenandKurt]

We have never done tea time before. I think you have convinced me to do it next time

[@EECCTravels]

+Shaileen and Kurt Vlogs we love tea time! And let me tell you the desserts are some of the best on the ship!!! Good to hear from you guys, did you enjoy your cruise???

[@ShaileenandKurt]

We enjoyed it too much that we booked the same cruise for September lol. The countdown is on :)

[@EECCTravels]

+Shaileen and Kurt Vlogs oh so jealous!! We were just saying that we would like to take another cruise this year but I don't think that will happen. We watched your video, looks like a great cruise!

[@evelynhayward2890]

Those rooms in the front of the ships are the rooms we always stay in. I love them. They are bigger than most of the rooms on the ship. The only problem is if you hit rough weather, you really feel it. We have not been to the bbq restaurant on the ship but plan to on our next cruise. I had to laugh when Jason said the music reminded him of the Titanic. The first thing I thought when I heard the music was if they play "Nearer My God To Thee" you all were in trouble. Keep the videos coming.

[@EECCTravels]

+Evelyn Hayward nice! I bet they have a wonderful view, I love seeing the sea from the front of the ship! Definitely try the bbq, it was really good. We got there about 15 minutes before it opened before the line was crazy. You never want to think about Titanic while on a cruise... but sometimes it's inevitable. At least it's good in funny conditions!!!

[@kristiansailes4094]

Me and my husband are going in June and we’re so excited! It’ll be our first time on the Dream and you’re videos are so helpful.

[@EECCTravels]

That's exciting! I hope you have an amazing cruise!

[@juliopablo5945]

you probably dont care at all but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@carterkareem2347]

@Julio Pablo Instablaster ;)

[@DiscoLiz]

That Titanic moment.... 😂😂😂 I looooved tea time during my one and only cruise. One of my favorite memories from the ship!

[@EECCTravels]

+DiscoLiz I know wasn't that funny! I wonder how many other people in that room were thinking about Titanic when they started playing??? I love tea time, it's one of my favorites too!

[@hollysebring6365]

I've never done tea time either but I think I'll try it when we go in May! I'm not a tea person, but I can do hot chocolate!

[@EECCTravels]

It's worth going for the fantastic desserts! And I love how it's a throw back to old-time cruising

[@NoJo1998]

Same.. I love some good tea but with that view and those deserts i would love it even more.. first cruise in may

[@deweyski]

I am trying the Dream over Labor day. My second Carnival cruise since I got married on the Pride back in 2003.

[@mountaingirl1995]

y'all are so sweet together♡

[@cameronlancon2492]

Can't wait for the next video. I've binge watched all your others!

[@EECCTravels]

+Cameron Lancon there's lots more to come! Glad you're enjoying them!

[@joanndurand8327]

Watched for 2nd time and I must say you make cruising look awesome, rough surf and all. My husband and I lived by the ocean growing up and we do now, being retired. You and your husband make a beautiful couple and your sons are very handsome, young gentlemen. Keep up the great work.

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks so much JoAnn! We truly love cruising and just go with it when the seas get a little rough and the ships sways a bit. I like seeing the waves in the pool :)

[@user-zj7gm4rb3s]

Sound is poor. I have a hard time hearing conversation d/t extraneous sounds!

[@siouxzq7700]

That bbq looked really tasty. Before long Jason will have long enough hair for a man bun, he'll be set for those windy days..lol! We meant to try the tea tines on our last cruise but never timed it right. Our daughter was supposed to have gotten married in October but it's been 'postponed ' Now the hubby and I are trying to plan the next cruise in either December or January. We are still thinking about cruising out of NOLA...ot would be so much more convenient. We could have family drop us off at the port and pick us up when we return. We wouldn't have airfares or parking fees. I can't wait to see your Disneyland vlogs.

[@EECCTravels]

+SiouxzQ it was really good bbq! I am so jealous his hair grows twice as fast as mine! This time last year it was really short!! Oh no on the 'postponement'. It will be great for you to cruise out of NOLA. We have been looking at The Norwegian ships for a me & him cruise... one day! Disneyland was incredible!!! Can't wait to share those too 😀

[@BriRog68]

My son and his wife are taking me on a cruise next October on the Carnival Horizon..its only been sailing for a year...the tour on you tube looks fantastic! They have this and I cant waitr to try it! Has anyone else been in the Horizon?

[@malekatahcampbell6326]

I have May 2018. It's a beautiful ship..I loved it! Also check because some of the paid restaurants are free for lunch on sea days.

[@malekatahcampbell6326]

Oh! If you like seafood make sure you try the Seafood Shack. It's right by the pizza spot. Omg so good and very affordable..the pizza was so good..I liked the white pizza. If you like sushi try the Japanese spot. Its A la carte affordable or the Hibachi sooo good. Guys burgers yummy LOL. Go on a month long fast b4 you sail..you'll thank me later hahaha 😊

[@sandyrowe6100]

I’m so happy I found you! Our cruise is Dec. 3 on the Dream! We’ll surely try tea time! Our first cruise was on the Dream in 2010, but there is so much more now, I can hardly wait. This is only our 4th cruise, second was Valor & 3rd was Liberty. Loved all 3!

[@EECCTravels]

We are happy you found us too! These ships change so much over a few years, the Dream had a major overhaul in February so everything was still nice and new when we sailed in April. You will have a wonderful time!

[@PLG1966]

Great videos!!!! My husband and I will be cruising in July and your videos have us super excited. Ready to set sail!!! Thank you!!!

[@luxury2450]

Ready for next one!!

[@EECCTravels]

+Elisem212 so glad you're enjoying these vlogs!

[@Bonstergirl1]

One of the lines jason used was it never gets old and I have to agree with that..nomatter how many times i go to the islands and on a ship..it just is like going there new again..NEVER GETS OLD! more should experience it. hahah and at tea time when Jas said about the Titanic..have to agree with too.. OMG do they want to freak ppl out.. lol..

[@EECCTravels]

So true! You can go on 20 cruises and have 20 different experiences. I love the different ships and seeing the beautiful ports! It never gets old :)

[@mjoyal66]

Never heard of tea time. But we will def try in Feb. Thank you all so much for your vlogs love them 😁

[@EECCTravels]

Yes, do it! We love tea time!!

[@MouseEaredWorld]

That BBQ looked so good and being from Kansas City we know good BBQ- looked very good, can't beat the view with that meal either! The titanic comment has us laughing

[@EECCTravels]

The BBQ was really good! An you are right, you can't beat the view!!! LOL he cracked us all up with the Titanic comparison :)

[@BlairFoxLove]

Oh my God I had to leave another comment because that barbecue at the pig and anchor looked so good, I actually tasted it through the TV because it looked that good, so please tell me that the Glory has that restaurant on that ship, I'm hoping the glory has the pig and anchor on that ship so when I go in September I can try it, so let me know if you know if that is the case!*🛳️⚓⛵🚤💙💦🐷🐖🐗🐽🐄🐮

[@EECCTravels]

I hate to tell you this... but it's not on the Glory, I just checked :(

[@BriRog68]

This is actually some pretty decent ASMR

[@SheSpeaksBack]

lol omg the titanic comment had me laughing too hard. I was thinking the same thing.

[@EECCTravels]

+Crystal Fair isn't that funny! You never really want to think about Titanic on a cruise... but sometimes it just creeps in!

[@lizstafford2013]

I can't wait for the next vlog:) y'all are making me so excited for our cruise in October!

[@EECCTravels]

+lizstafford2013 😀. Your cruise will be here before you know it!!!

[@BlairFoxLove]

Hey it's me your new best friend Blair just sitting back on my couch relaxing with my babies watching, well you know what I'm watching I don't even have to say it or type it okay that part!*🛳️⚓⛵🚤💙💦

[@joanndurand8327]

Blair Fox Love And

[@sharonjohnson5834]

Im going on my 9th and 10th cruise this spring and summer watching your videos i can't wait

[@EECCTravels]

Oh, fantastic! The more cruises the better. Glad our videos are helping you get excited :)

[@Spoonfullofsugarvlogs]

Great vlog! We've never sailed with Carnival, the BBQ looked great. We would call tea time afternoon tea, did you get jam with your scone?

[@EECCTravels]

+Spoonfullofsugar thanks guys! The bbq was really good! Jason said it was nice to just be able to eat and enjoy the bbq without having to cook it! We love going to tea! They didn't have jam but had this amazing fresh whipped cream that was sooo good!

[@sgcl10658]

This tea time is much better than the Magic I was recently on. It was very dreadful, kind of empty, not a lot of food choices.

[@peterj5022]

FYI, the macaroons you mention are Carnival's version of English scones served with thick whipped cream. Delicious. Thanks for the helpful vlog.

[@EECCTravels]

+Peter J the waitress was calling them macaroons so I was too. I have had both macaroons and scones and they are definitely more like scones. And with that cream oh yeah delicious!

[@TheSeanBampton]

Scones and clotted cream. It's a British thing, for sure.

[@shaelewis7098]

I new to your channel. .love it ,you have a beautiful family.your hubby is so cool he remind me of Cody from sister wives..lol I love carnival going on cruise #11 this December. . keep the vlogs coming.

[@EECCTravels]

+Shae Lewis so glad you found our channel! You will LOVE cruising, we were hooked after our first one!!!

[@yamahaguy1732]

So close we board carnival freedom Saturday at I think 1:30

[@EECCTravels]

Have a great time!!! So excited for you!!!

[@devindurgin9643]

It's so much to do on ships that you tend to miss out. I never new Carnival ships had a salad bar, and tea time looks great! Is it served every sea day, or just once per sailing?

[@EECCTravels]

+Devin Durgin I know right! The salad bar was a huge surprise for us. I did try it later in the cruise and really liked that they toss the salad with the dressing which is nice. We love tea time! It is on every sea day usually around 3pm.

[@ritajoshi5614]

The britannia does not have a pig and anchor o what a shame cos the food looks so good

[@JesusIsLove7777]

You guys are really eating a butt on a bun??🤣 #’Merica 🇺🇸

[@EECCTravels]

Heck yeah! That was some good butt too :)

[@riverafamily3432]

Was the BBQ a extra charge? It looked very good

[@EECCTravels]

+Jose Rivera nope no extra charge! And yes it was very good bbq!

[@Skyhawk1987Turbo]

Lol at tea time, ethan did not look happy

[@EECCTravels]

+Skyhawk1987Turbo he was humoring his mom... but he liked the desserts 😀

[@blackgoldydamack4367]

Does tea time cost extra???? I go on the liberty in march and the dream on July and I'm ready for it

[@EECCTravels]

Nope, tea time is included! And it's fantastic, the desserts are REALLY good. Oh fantastic, two cruises booked!!!!

[@malekatahcampbell6326]

[@joanndurand8327]

[@EECCTravels]

Nope, it's included :)

[@malekatahcampbell6326]

[@Skyhawk1987Turbo]

Do you ever get motion sickness?

[@EECCTravels]

+Skyhawk1987Turbo luckily no. On our first cruise we wore the patches, but now we just bring the sea bands and over the counter medicine but haven't needed it.

[@Carmen-jg2fn]
