This will be a fabulous trip! How exciting for you and your daughter! The sound of music tour is a lovely way to spend an afternoon. I would also do a day trip to Neuschweinstein while you are in Salzburg.
I personally like your alternate plan. imo I would cut CT and add it all to Florence to explore more, visit smaller towns in the region, making take a cooking class, etc. if CT is a must, I would at least cut down one day

Only one full day for Vienna, one of the major cities in Europe? Spend at least 4 nights and fly to Venice. Or go ahead to Salzburg and skip the Cinque Terre.
You don't say when you plan to be there but better check the cruise ship schedule later this year. The tiny villages get 2.5 million visitors per year, and crowds worsen when mega-ships are in port. Relocating from Venice, packing up in one hotel and walking out of the next plan on spending 7.5 to 8 hours Rome 6.5 [a couple of hours on top of the train times].

Thanks for your advice. Wish we had more time to do everything but definitely trying to make the Best of time we do have. I Like the suggestion of maybe cutting day in CT and adding to Florence.
