pickypicky Posted June 5 #1 Share Posted June 5 (edited) This may seem trivial but I’m trying to estimate how much time we need to allow to get off the ship at our first port (Naples). We won’t have had much time to get acquainted with the layout of the ship and are taking a private excursion. Does Princess give priority to ship excursions or can we walk off with everyone else? Is there likely to be a mob at the elevators? Is room service breakfast likely to be slow on the first day? Inquiring minds really need to know!!!

SCX22 Posted June 5 #2 Share Posted June 5 Should be no delays in getting off if the ship is on time. No tendering (that I'm aware of) in Napoli. The question is where will the ship berth? Costa and MSC have priority in Italy (both are Italian) and have access to the main berths. In Naples, Stazione Marittima is is the main cruise port. Overflow pier, where Princess can potentially be berthed, is Molo Carlo Pisacane. The piers are a 10 minute walk from each other (through an industrial area) and a continuous free shuttle to Stazione Marittima is usually provided by the port authority. Confirm with the excursion operator the exact pick up point. Allow for extra time if having to shuttle to Statzione Marittima, which can be quite the zoo of people if there are 2 cruise ships berthed there to begin with. Molo Carlo Pisacane is my preferred berth because it's a closer walk to to the historic city center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also close to: L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele One of the oldest and best pizzerias in Naples, founded in 1870. Serves only two pizzas: marinara and margherita, with numbered tickets (get it from entrance) and open 10am-11pm. But wait is about 1-hour. Pizza is inexpensive.

Do you happen to know if the locations in Southern California are related? All the PR points to the original in Naples. Southern California locations have an expanded menu and the prices definitely aren't Naples prices. The pizza is great, though, similar to Naples.
