There are plenty of them in the CBD. They have a good range of sunscreens. We usually use the Cancer Council ones.

Transiting Through Doha Airport Qatar
OzKiwiJJ replied to lyndarra's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
I had the same bad vibe transiting through Abu Dhabi some years ago and I wasn't travelling solo. The exit from the arrival gate was near a glass walled smoking room full of men. Walking past that was very unpleasant. -
I wish we could have got a suite but no such luck plus it would have bent the budget too far out of shape. We opted for a mid-aft minisuite as the only balcony cabins were either guarantees or in locations we didn't like. That bent the budget a bit more than we liked but it's worth it for a 28 day cruise.

Oops, we just did it again. We're enjoying being on Coral Princess so much and Sydney weather still looks like being wet and cool so we've booked ourselves on the 11th Oct Round Australia cruise. We go home for three days between this cruise and that one. We don't want to stay on for the three day booze cruise!

Covid on board- the Aussie experience
OzKiwiJJ replied to Sailnsurf's topic in Australia & New Zealand Cruisers
Since you are required to "attest" to having a negative result those who did fake their result could potentially leave themselves open to legal action if it could be proved they boarded knowingly with Covid and faked their test result. In actual fact no-one has asked to see our RAT photo in 36 days of cruising since the restart and Covid is not running rampant on Coral Princess or any other ship currently operating here. Most people are probably doing the right thing. -
It's irrelevant how hard the staff push mask wearing as a certain number of passengers are either too entitled or too ignorant to wear them unless it's the only way they can get into a venue: - I'm wearing my mask ... on my chin, or my wrist, or hanging off my ear. - I'm wearing my mask ... I don't breathe through my nose so I don't need to cover it. - I wore my mask through the door but I'm not going to wear it during the show / trivia / or whatever even though the theatre / lounge is packed. - I can't wear a mask because I need to cough, into my hand of course. - I don't need to wear a mask because it's a sip and cover venue and I have a drink in front of me even though I'm not actually drinking it. All of these examples are seen every night on board. What really irritates me is someone who gets into a lift holding a mask then puts it on when it's time to exit the lift. However lots of people are still being very good about wearing their masks when moving around the ship, however I think the percentage of mask wearers is dropping more on this cruise than the other two cruises we were on recently.
