P&O ‘My Holiday’ app is launched as Carnival upgrades theirs

Appy cruising! How did we ever manage without cruise line apps? They make such a difference to our day onboard. Reducing the need to queue to the guest services or having to ring (who wants to call people?) restaurants when you can just book it online? Safe to say, I am so happy to see the one cruise line that hasn’t had one before has finally entered the current century with P&O ‘My Holiday’ app. Meanwhile, big cousin Carnival in the US has revamped their fabulous 4yo app to include even more cool functions.

But the biggest eco move of 2021 from our beloved cruise industry is the move to using LNG fuel, liquefied natural gas. It offers an amazing reduction in terms of CO2 footprint and pollution in general. Who would’ve known that something good comes out of a global pandemic – a much greener, environmentally friendly cruise fleet? That certainly is the case with Carnival Corporation & PLC (CCL) brands.
