All hands on deck: need help proving PG status

[MamaParrotHead]

My cousin wants to join us on our cruise, and sailed on the Celebration back in 6/91. She just went through a divorce, and the process of tossing anything that wasn't necessary to take to her new apartment, which included her pictures from the trip.

 

Any creative ideas as to what she may have, and not realize, that would work as proof for Carnival? I asked if a statement from her TA (that booked the trip) would suffice and was told it would not.

 

Any ideas?

You will need either the cruise documents or the Welcome Aboard Photo showing the ship and date.

Her old sign and sail card would probably work!:)

A friend of mine recently went through this, same scenario. She kept calling back with more info. Date of sailing, her address and phone number at the time, etc. Eventually Carnival did find her and give her past guest status.

I was told that prior to 1995, not all past guests are in the system. We were lucky; all the guy on the phone needed was my name and DOB and he found us. :D

Can her TA go back that far and recover the Booking number?

can she go back that far with Credit Card company the Cruise was charged to, for copy of statement?

Any copies of Photos mailed to friends/relatives?

No mementos tucked away in Scrapbooks or Photo Albums that survived?

Old Bank or Credit Card Statement with charges to Carnival?

I recently just went through something like this - to get a Feb 1989 cruise on the Carnival Carnivale added to our history. Below is part of the email response I got back from Carnival. Strangely, I had a copy of the invoice from that trip (I discovered this old invoice when looking for something else, which made me think about adding it to my history profile). If you could get a copy of the invoice from the TA, I would think that should work:

We sailed on December 26th, 1993, and we were in there.
