Naples earthquake, any effects on cruises?

Today’s earthquake in Naples, has anyone on a cruise got any information?

This was only a 4.0 earthquake... there was a 4.2 one a couple of weeks ago. So far I haven´t heard of any changes regarding the port of Naples.

When I lived in Southern California, a 4.0 was hardly noticeable....

4.0 is very minor for an earthquake and there have been  o reports of damage or injury. There could be a risk that the earthquake swarm is a precursor to volcanic activity. The article I read said there isn't any sign in magma rising so its probably okay.

Pozzuoli and parts of Naples are built on an active super volcano (Campi Flegrei). This is a 150 skm area and two thirds are in the sea. So it´s still 50 sqm which are more or less completely filled up with buildings.

 

A 4.0 earthquake is noticable there and there are minor damages.

 

The whole area is on warning stage 2 (out of 4) but for a longer time already. They are now checking their evacuation plans. Some science guys think there will be a major eruption more or less soon (which will be a major disaster). Others say no worries...
