If you are trying to get into Split from the U.S. to board a cruise ship, you will have difficulty finding convenient timings of connecting flights. The airfare cost will be extremely expensive during the summer as well. My airfare cost more than my 10 day cruise! To beat, it I suggest flying easy jet to connect into Split. I was very pleased with Easy Jet, it was the only way to go at the time!
If you are looking into cruising & visiting the islands of Croatia, do your research on the cruise vessels. Many ships are old, they have limited bathrooms & showers and they don't have A/C. During the summer it gets crazy hot! Some ships you have to take a number to get a shower, don't do it! I travelled with Contiki (the ship was called EOS), it was good value, the ship was new. Each room had their own bathroom & shower. There was a fan/AC it didn't always work, but it was better than nothing. It was the best out of the bunch.
Ferries do run before May, just on a less frequent schedule. But that would probably take too much of your time so I'll share a few more mainland suggestions. I wouldn't bother renting a car from Dubrovnik, buses are frequent and reliable, quite cheap so you can get off the bus at any place that grabs your attention, and catch another bus in a couple of hours. http://www.autobusni-kolodvor.com/en/timetable.aspxAn interesting destination about half way between Dubrovnik and Split (5-6 hours ride total!)is Neretva river delta - http://www.neretva.info/We went on a "safari" by boats through orchards, a very special unforgettable experience! Local speciality are eel and frog legs, if you like oysters ask for those from Ston or jump off the bus near Ston. If you don't like oysters, try those from Ston - small, milky and gentle in taste, not the rubbery choking type :o)From Split - visiting...
The new highway from Dubrovnik along the coast to Split in Croatia is a picturesque road. It starts with the new bridge (of Franjo Tuðman) out of Port of Gruž and Dubrovnik. It also pass nearby the border to Bosnia Herzegovina.
Easy and cheap don't work when trying to get to Dubrovnik or Croatia from Athens. No direct ferry or flight, which means going via Italy. In summer you could fly to Bari and get the ferry to Dalmatia or fly to Venice which is very close to Istria.
just in case someone is thinking of taking the two single beds in a cabin and pushing them together to make one large bed . it probably can not be done. everyone i every ask said the beds and most other things are bolted to the floor with a special type of bolt that takes a special tool to remove.
Ivan and Debbie can organise all sorts of tours on Motorcycles, Crusing and Accomodation. They are really reasonable and best of all speak English and Croatian. Not only did they sort out some fantastic accomodation for us, they also organised a cruise and we spent some time on a motorcycle tour with them.
Quite handy for crossing from Obala Kneza Trpimira (look at your map!) and getting into town without the walk around the marina and quayside (eventually crossing by the bridge).For a couple of kuna you'll be across in as many minutes.
Documents When arriving in Croatia by car it is requested that you carry a valid driver's license, car registration card and your Green Card (proof of car insurance) Speed limits Speed limit in settlements is 50 km/h and 80 km/h in out of settlements (unless stated differently). On highways a speed limit is 130 km/h. Alcohol limit The maximum permitted level of alcohol in the blood is 0‰. Update 2008 Now the legal blood alcohol limit is 50 mg.

http://www.drive-alive.co.uk/route_planner.aspThis is a fabulous web site that should answer all your questions in relation to distance time and cost of travel. It gives very detailed instructions and you can pick, quickest route, most scenic etc. We are doing the same trip in July but staying at Split. From the forums I've read Plitvice is worth the drive and you can see most of the park in half a day. I hope this helps. I have done hours of searching and was so relieved when I stumbled accross this web site.Regards Belinda
