pnk Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Hello! We are going on our first Mediterranean cruise and Naples is one of our stops. Having never been to Italy before (or even Europe!), we would love to hear what you did when Naples was your cruise port. Capri, Sorrento, Positano? We are thinking we are not going to Pompeii this time. Thank you for any advice you have big or small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom has visited Pompeii before, so she chose Capri this time. It really looks beautiful! Some beautiful sights there!(me and my kids are staying on board and have reserved a Casita for the day since we reckon the boat will be "empty", and since mom did not recommend Pompeii for kids) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be doing this port for the first time next June and was thinking Pompeii…. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedricmr Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 The arrival of the ship is a few dozen meters from the boats that go to Capri. It is very easy. At the port of Capri, either the staircase or the cable car to go up to the old town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Pompei once in August it was over 40C (104+) there is very little shade there so wow was that hot, but still enjoyed the experience.

Stephanie Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Capri was AMAZING and the highlight of our trip. We loved it so much, we want to go back and spend a few days there. We also had the best meal of our trip in Capri. But, it's all dependent on what you like. It has that picturesque small Italian villa vibe vs. the hustle & bustle of Rome and Florence. ...That said, we skipped Naples and Pompeii to do Capri, so I really can't speak to those cities.
