The Napoli coast has never had Lava you are thinking about the wrong island. The active Lava flows are seen from the big island. Please edit your review for accuracy.

Why do you not recommend doing Pearl Harbor through Norwegian? We were planning to do that on disembarkation day because we have a late flight.
