We took the cruise last June and loved it. Instead of booking the excursions through the ship we used shoreexcursionsgroup.com.
By booking a package of 4 excursions we saved about 30% off the ships rate but our main reason for selecting them was the size of the group. We averaged about 25 people on each excursion. We ran into the ship's excursion in Pompei which was a mad scene of approx 100 people while we were 25 or so.
Some comments:
The Almalfi Coast is an amazing trip. Not for the faint of heart with the narrow roads, sharp turns and cliffs
Naples does have some of the best pizza I've ever tasted.
We did Rome, The Vatican and The Colliseum in one day which was to much to cover and we were running all day. The lines at the Vatican were huge.
The ruins of Pompei are a must see.
We did visit the one Casino in Barcelona and were in and out in 10 minutes. Nothing playable.
Have a good time. It's a great trip.

Bonnie and I will be on the NCL Epic beginning June 15.
1. I am strongly considering hiring a car service for 6-8 people to transport us around Naples, Rome, and Florence. This is MUCH more flexible and cheaper than hiring excursions off the ship. Has anyone tried this, and if so, were you satisfied?
2. Anybody here going to be on the same ship at the same time? If so, are you interested in "car pooling?"
