RCI's Botany Bay

Central Park atrium on RCI's Genesis ship
Rendering of "Central Park"
from RCI's Genesis Project

Royal Caribbean is calling it Central Park, but when I read the description in the press release: "a revolutionary design in which the center of the ship opens to the sky and features lush, tropical grounds" that doesn't sound like the temperate (and often snowy) Manhattan park I grew up with.

I think the rendering looks great. But in the famous words of Pavel Checkov, I think it's more a "Botany Bay."

(Yes, that's another Star Trek pun.)
