Ahoy there Kimberly, and welcome aboard planDisney!
From the sounds of it, you're getting ready to set sail on a
7-Night Western Europe Cruise from Southampton along with your fellow excited seafaring folks looking for their chance to experience sailing in the North Sea! Now savvy sailors will know that instead of calling them
MagicBands (the name used for these in Disney destinations within the United States), the counterpart across the Disney Cruise Line fleet is actually referred to as the
DisneyBand+ whenever you're on the ships. I'm a big fan of wearable technology and found it so fascinating when my team had the chance to test its precursors over a decade ago on board, so when it comes to snagging one of your own I'm absolutely happy to help guide you along the way:
- Since you've said that all that you can see online is your previously purchased MagicBand+ (which can be used on board in the same way as a DisneyBand+ either way), you likely don't have the ability to select "Get Started"; make sure that you've linked your reservation to your account by selecting "Add a Reservation" on when you head to the My Reservations page.
Alternatively, there may be a variety available to purchase once on board but in my experience given the higher amount of non-American guests sailing who might not have had the opportunity to purchase these in advance it can be competitive to snag the design you want!
I hope you have the most fantastic time during your voyage Kimberly; I recently sailed that itinerary this year and you may be happy to hear that
Hamburg is currently home to a number of Disney musical stage productions including Disney's Hercules, Disney's Frozen and Disney's The Lion King. Though these are all entirely in German, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - especially sing we knew these stories and songs by heart already! Whenever you have an overnight stop in any Port of Call, this is definitely a great way to spend the evening, so see whether this might be a unique Disney experience you'd want to enjoy during your trip.
Wishing you all the best on your quest for a DisneyBand+ for your adventures on the other side of the Atlantic!
