myerspaul Posted February 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2018 In the 90s and early 00s I cruise HAL almost exclusively more than 60 cruise days on 8 different ships. When inquiring with the Mariner Society, they have no record of any of my past cruises. I am surprised, because when I did the same inquiry with Princess, they had all the records going even further back. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love the beach Posted February 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Any chance you kept your room cards? That's how I kept track of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted February 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I've heard of people losing credits by accidentally getting more than one Mariner number and having some recorded under each number. Have you had the same M number all along? And the same name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If you could tell them ship name and date of any of your cruises, tthey may have a better chance of finding the records. Maybe you have a photo album with some notes that might refresh your memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted February 25, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I know when I was attempting to get credit for a Carnival cruise I had taken back in 1985, Carnival accepted my boarding photo and a scan of my original paper boarding pass I had in a scrapbook and I got credit. HAL is owned by Carnival Corp so I'm willing to bet if you have any type of photographic evidence or paperwork to prove you were aboard, they'll give you credit.

I ran into your same situation attempting to obtain past guest status with Cunard. No record of my TA on QE2 in 1980. I has able to provide them with a copy of a shipboard photo taken in the Dining Room on QE2 that had a date shown. That was proof enough for them. Any paper documentation of the cruises that you might have in your "archives" could also be used to establish your past guest status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liketraveling Posted February 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I ran into the problem with RCCL. Fortunately, this was back in the days when I made a crape book of my trips. I had copies of boarding passes and they accepted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 26, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Maybe somewhere over the years you were given a different Mariner number?? Did you change names any time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveFamliyVacations Posted February 26, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I had the same issue and was able to receive credit through our personal photographs showing parts of the ship and time stamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is great. I have heard Mariners Society does try to work with people to get their days credited . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cruised with other people maybe you could give THOSE names to the Mariners' Society to help track down your cruises/day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised, because when I did the same inquiry with Princess, they had all the records going even further back. Any ideas?? We ran into the same problem with HAL some years ago. They simply were not keeping good passenger records during this period. We gave up trying to get credit for a couple of cruises. Ran into the same problem with Celebrity but supplied photos of us on two cruises which they accepted as proof (even though the photos were not dated.)

Rare sailawaybellaluna Posted March 14, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Any chance you have any name hyphenations or anything like that? My husband has only sailed HAL once, but he had several Mariner numbers for some reason! So it took them some time to find the one with the credit on there, and then combine the numbers...

Haboob Posted March 14, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 14, 2018 For what it's worth, HAL just found the one time I'd sailed with them before on the Ryndam in 2001 without my remembering the year (and therefor my ZIP code at the time), and in spite of my thinking I'd sailed on the Rotterdam. Had to correct my sig block. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl11 Posted March 16, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I recently booked another cruise and found out that I had 3 Mariner numbers. All 3 had my name a little different and the one that had my past cruise on it had an incorrect birthday. Just have them look up variations of your name and if you had other phone numbers or zip codes. I also was surprised to find out that my daughter has a mariner number and she hasn't sailed with Holland yet but my son did not have one and they have only sailed together. We've been on Princess so maybe they signed her up from there? Another thing that was strange was that both my parents were listed with my address. I've never sailed on Holland with my parents and they have never lived at my current address. My sister had my phone number and the wrong birthday and her husband, who hasn't sailed Holland either, has a number. Their system seems to be all screwed up.

Apparently, sailing on any of the CCL brands will get you a Mariner number, and, likely, so too will being given as an emergency contact. Explains a lot.
