In any case, good to know about the meal selection routine. We are on vacation so don't care that much about being served last, but would like to have a choice if at all possible.
Personally I don't love 1CD as there are no windows on either side (just closets), so they do feel kind of enclosed. Certainly if your priority is being able to have a window they are probably the worst option. The other center pairs have at least a vague sightline to a window but 1CD really don't.
