This is the indoor pool of the ship. The pool, along with its hot tubs is a popular place when the weather outside gets cool. In case of heavy weather, the pool is drained and a net placed over it.
There were dolphins swimming in Bondi Bay and the cliff walk was lined with people trying to snap a photo of them. The next day, the newspaper had a great shot of several dolphins sharing a wave with some surfers. How cool is that?

Here's a little history.
The decline and closure of Harpurhey Baths
It was not really until after the First World War that bathing became a habit. By that time most of the houses being built had their own bathrooms where baths could be taken in ease and comfort. This improvement in housing meant that public facilities were no longer required for sanitary purposes. Similarly, relative cheapness and availability of domestic appliances meant that laundries also fell into decline. Manchester City Council closed all its laundries in the early 1980s.
Harpurhey Baths finally closed completely in 2001 after serious defects were discovered in the building’s walls and machinery. Cracks in the baths’ walls that had previously been repaired had widened beyond repair and some of the walls were bowing. There were also problems with the baths’ steam boilers and the drainage system. The North City Family and Fitness Centre, incorporating a 25 metre swimming pool, was due to open 18 months later nearby on Moston Lane, making running repairs to the baths, which would have cost £3m, unfeasible.

This one is called Inferno Crater. It is deceptively beautiful, but with a smell of sulphur all around.

Black Pool is a very hot, moderately deep, irregularly-outlined, and intensely blue- to deep turquoise-colored. It was formerly a deep greenish-black color, from the presence of yellowish extremophile bacterial mats on the pool walls and floor. Subsequent natural heating of this feature has knocked out most of the bacterial mats. Abundant, suspended, <0.5µ-sized, colloidal silica particles are responsible for the blue coloration of the water.
In 1991 and 1992, Black Pool had atypical activity, coinciding with activity at nearby Abyss Pool (see above). One explosive eruption here in August 1991 involved the forceful detachment and nearby deposition of geyserite clasts. Boiling water domes up to 3 feet high were present in the pool after that eruption, accompanied by significant overflow.
Small eruptions also occurred at Black Pool in 1992.
