The most important part of a building is its foundations and that is the same for any successful company. The Carnival of today was built on the foundations laid by the many and today at noon the fleet will lower their flags to half mast to remember a true gentlemen of the sea………………….Captain Carlo Chiarella
Grazie Comandante……………………we will miss you.

My sincere condoleances to the family and may he rest in peace knowing that he did live his life at sea and all of the wonderful memories that the crew that worked with him have.

Captain Chiarella was the first captain I worked under in 1981 when I joined Carnival Cruise lines. What a great person. he will be missed by all of us who worked with him.
Que Dios lo tenga en su Gloria y que en paz descanse Comandante Chiarella.
Carlo Chiarella was family to me. Though only met a few times in my life, he will always be remembered. In his own way, he taught me pride, dedication and loyalty.
Thank you everyone for your kind words about this true Gentleman of the Seas. He will continue to be there in our hearts!!
