We sailed Princess' Mediterranean cruise last year, and one of the ports was Naples.  Rather than taking a shore excursion we decided to do it on our own.  We took a bus from the dock to the train station, boarded the train, which lets you out right at the gates of Pompeii.  We toured Pompeii in the morning, reboarded the train and went to Sorrento (which was beautiful).  Had a wonderful lunch there and walked thru the city and did a bit of shopping.  We then took the hydrofoil back from Sorrento to Naples.  The hydrofoil docks right where the cruise ship does.  It was a fabulous day!  I'm not sure how they fit so much in on the shore excursions.  My guess is that you don't spend much time anywhere.  Pompeii was absolutely fabulous!
