Hello, Katherine,We too have several MagicBand+ bands that we have acquired during visits to the Walt Disney World Resort or the Disneyland Resort. It's OK to use a MagicBand+ during your Disney cruise as a DisneyBand+. To verify or link a band for your use or for another Guest whose profile you manage, visit your My Disney account and navigate to the DisneyBand+ & More section. If there are other members of your party who manage their own profile, they will be able to log into their own account to verify that their own MagicBand+ is already linked to them. If any member of your party does not already have a My Disney profile of their own, you may create a profile that you manage under your account or invite them to create their own My Disney account. To do that, visit your Family & Friends List then use the "Add a Guest" link. You can use the form to search for an existing Guest or use the "Create a New Guest" wizard.My wife, one of our children, and I each have our own My Disney accounts. Our other children's Guest profiles are managed under my account. I currently see my own DisneyBand+/MagicBand+ and that of one child managed under my account. My other children's bands don't happen to show up under my Disney Cruise Line DisneyBand+ & More list, even though they do show up on my Disney World MagicBands & Cards page. I understand this is because those children haven't yet used those MagicBands+ on a Disney cruise with us. When they cruise with us later this year, we will be able to activate their bands on their cruise profiles in addition to their Disney World profiles.A similar situation appears for our child who has their own My Disney account. They have a MagicBand+ that shows up under their Disney World profile. But it doesn't yet appear under their Disney Cruise Line profile. But, hakuna matata! It means, "No worries!" That's because these final linkages can all easily be settled when we arrive at the cruise ship terminal on embarkation day. In most cases, the Cast Member who checks us in after our Port Arrival Time can finalize the linkage between a MagicBand+/DisneyBand+ and a specific Guest. In some cases, it appears that Experiment 626 (aka Stitch) might have caused a little mix-up in the background. But even in cases like those, we've found that a lead/supervisor at the cruise ship terminal or a Cast Member at the Guest Relations counter onboard the ship has always been able to straighten things out and get bands back to a state that works for each member of our party.I hope that helps with getting all of your ducks in a row before your upcoming cruise, Katherine. Please visit us at planDisney again if there's any other advice or recommendations you are looking for before your adventure on the high seas.Bon voyage, Katherine!~Tony
