The rundown:

1. We are flying at night from San Francisco.
2. I've seen the scenery many times before (and most of it is water or ice).
3. Neither of us have short legs or are infirm.

One thing I've read on that choice row main deck CW is that you may have to give it up last minute for travelers with babies because the bassinet is there! Geez, first come first served is my motto. If you're a straggler, too bad.
