The WhatsOn app will be free on personal devices when you are connected to P&O Cruises Australias' Wi-Fi, the best thing about this is that it will not cost you any money to connect to the WhatsOn app [ Interface ]. WhatsOn app provides will provide a new way for cruislings on board to stay in touch with their family and friends during their cruise.
The app will allow families and friends travelling together to send messages to one another, check in and ‘like’ locations as well as recommend activities, ensuring no one misses out on any holiday fun.
Guests can also book shore tours with a few clicks, check their onboard account, view special promotions available across the ship and keep up to date with the latest news from around the world.

P&O Cruises President Sture Myrmell said the app would revolutionise onboard customer service.
“We’re delighted to be able to offer this easy-to-use technology free of charge to all our guests to help them stay connected during their holiday and provide easy access to onboard and shore experiences. It’s as simple as connecting a personal device to the P&O Wi-Fi and opening a browser to discover everything WhatsOn has to offer,” Mr Myrmell said.
“Never again will our guests suffer from FOMO or wonder which restaurant or bar their friends are in. This app will be the new must-have item for all P&O guests.”
