We just got off the Radiance, and I don't think there is a bad cabin on the ship. You will find that you will be using the stairways alot, so I would look to be close to the stairs. Remember that the stairs in the back are for the staff only. If you book E1, you will be on the 9th or 10th deck. We were on the 9th deck, and preferred this, because we were close to our favorite upper decks. Yet, not far from deck 5 or 4 for the dinning room or the panio loby bar. We enjoyed our trip, and we would like to cruise the Radiance again.
