MIAMI, Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival
Cruise Line will introduce its first-ever teppanyaki dining venue
when the new 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon debuts in Europe in
spring 2018.
Teppanyaki is a traditional method of Japanese cooking whose
name is derived from the combination of the words "teppan" or iron
plate with "yaki" meaning grilled or pan-fried. Teppanyaki
combines ancient Japanese cooking techniques with modern
performance art to create a feast that is both culinary and
visual.
Located on Carnival Horizon's Promenade Deck, Bonsai Teppanyaki
will offer a wide-ranging menu with authentic delicacies from the
Far East prepared by highly skilled chefs who will create
tantalizing dishes on custom-built stations that form the center of
the venue's two eight-seat tables.
In keeping with Carnival's atmosphere of spirited and
participatory fun, dinner at Bonsai Teppanyaki will be an
unforgettable culinary experience with chefs engaging with diners
and dazzling them with their amazing knife skills and other
performance elements.
"Carnival is all about providing our guests with a wide array of
choices and that, of course, includes a seemingly endless array of
delicious culinary options," said Christine
Duffy, Carnival's president. "The new Bonsai
Teppanyaki promises to be a wonderful addition to the Carnival
Horizon, offering delectable cuisine from the Far East enhanced by
show-stopping performances by our talented and engaging chefs," she
added.
At the reservations-recommended restaurant, diners begin their
meal with samplings of five tempting appetizers - Miso Soup;
Kabuki Salad with Ginger Dressing; Teppanyaki Shrimp with Soy
Butter and Salsa Vinaigrette; Pork Belly Yakitori with Sesame
Asparagus Fries and Seaweed Salad; and Spicy Tuna on the
Rocks with Onion Sesame Sauce and Den Miso.
Guests can then choose from a variety of tantalizing entrees:
Lobster Tail with Yuzu Cream and Citrus Kosho; Filet
Mignon with Truffle Salt, Garlic Chips and Champagne Cognac Flambé;
Teriyaki Salmon with Savory and Sweet Teriyaki Glaze; Black
Cod with Soy Reduction; Shrimp with Young Lettuce and Gyukuro
Tea; Shichimi Spiced Grilled Chicken with Teriyaki
Sauce; and Grilled Tofu with Vegetables, Yaki Udon, and Teriyaki Anticucho Sauce.
Four different combination dinners are available, including
filet mignon/shrimp, shrimp/spiced grilled chicken, filet
mignon/teriyaki salmon, and filet mignon/lobster tail. Meals end on
a sweet note with a Chocolate Bento
Box with Green Tea Ice Cream.
All dishes include fried rice and stir-fried vegetables. Prices
for Bonsai Teppanyaki are on a per-person basis and include all
appetizer selections, entrée and dessert. The restaurant will
be open for lunch on sea days and for dinner every night of the
cruise.
The new teppanyaki venue will be located within Carnival
Horizon's stand-alone Bonsai Sushi restaurant that will serve
traditional sushi, sashimi, rolls and "bento ships" on an a la
carte basis. It's one of dozens of different dining and
beverage venues on board offering a wide range of international
cuisines. These include Cucina del Capitano family-style Italian
restaurant, the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, Guy's Burger Joint
developed in tandem with Food Network star Guy Fieri, the Mexican-themed themed BlueIguana
Cantina serving authentic tacos and burritos, the 24-hour Pizza
Pirate, and the New England-inspired Seafood Shack.
Carnival Horizon will also be the first ship to feature a Dr.
Seuss-themed water park as well as a groundbreaking
bike-ride-in-the-sky attraction called SkyRide, and an IMAX
Theatre.
A wide range of accommodations will also be offered, including
spa cabins with exclusive privileges at the luxurious Cloud 9 Spa,
extra-roomy staterooms in Family Harbor, and tropics-inspired
Havana staterooms and suites with
exclusive daytime access to a Cuban-themed bar and pool.
Carnival Horizon is scheduled to make its maiden voyage
April 2, 2018, with a 13-day
Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona – the first of four round-trip
departures from that port. Carnival Horizon will reposition to
the U.S. with a 14-day trans-Atlantic crossing from Barcelona to New
York May 9-23, 2018.
Following its summer schedule of four-day Bermuda and eight-day Caribbean departures from the Big Apple,
Carnival Horizon will shift to Miami and kick off a year-round schedule of
six- and eight-day Caribbean
cruises beginning Sept. 22, 2018.
Carnival Horizon will also offer a special two-day cruise to
Nassau from Miami Sept. 20-22,
2018.
