Hi, I am a first time international traveller and a first time cruiser- going on a honeymoon.
I will be on the NCL epic and will be on port at naples in july. I was watching Rick Steves videos and have been reading his Mediterranean cruise book - and am wondering is it really that hard to travel from naples to Amalfi?
My biggest concern is traveling on my own to there and then not getting on the ship in time.
Most of the time Rick Steves seems to believe that going out on our own and avoiding the excursions is the best way to save money but he has said that the crowdedness of Amalfi, especially in July, means an excursion may be well spent money.
Whats your take on this? NCL offers the following- day trip (on own to sorrento and naples via naples port) 110/person, naples and amalfi 220/person.
each of these offers i believe a lunch, private coach to the location and some of them offer guided tours.
What do you guys recommend?
