RIP Captain Carr

[molecrochip]

Many of you will remember Captain Charlie Carr who retired around 2015. Sadly, he passed earlier this month.

 

His last full time ship was Ventura before he was promoted to Fleet Captain. As Fleet Captain he popped up on random ships, shared his knowledge and covered for other captains who were unexpected unavailable.

 

He regularly travelled with his wife "Mrs Captain" and both would be seen around the ship chatting with passengers.

 

As he sets off on his travels in the sky, I imagine he will "put another twist in the big elastic band" and suggest he "pours himself a G&T".

 

RIP Captain

Charlie Carr and his wife were lovely use to love his daily announcements, always seen around the ship talking to people and the crew. RIP Charlie Carr.

That's such sad news, loved sailing with the legend that will always be Captain Charlie Carr.

I remember queueing for the Beach House on Ventura and being given a buzzer. Captain Carr walked up with some guests and my husband jokingly said to the maitre d "I hope you're going to give him a buzzer too"!!! 

They did!!! 🤣

We all sat outside and had a good laugh about it!!!

RIP Captain Carr and thank you for many happy memories of sailing with you.

I remember Captain Charlie from Ventura when he used to join the solo coffee meetings in Ramblas, Sad news.

Sad to hear this news. A great Captain who always interacted with the passengers.

If I'm not mistaken he had a good teacher - Mike Carr (no relation). Caused no end of confusion when one (Mike) was Captain and the other (Charlie) Deputy Captain were on Oriana.
