Why no shore excursion to Plitvice Lakes NP?

[miacincin]

Hello Azamara cruisers, We are sailing on a Croatia intensive cruise in late April and were surprised to find no shore excursion offered by the cruise line to the enormously popular Plitvice Lakes National Park while in the port of Zadar from 8a-5p on 4/26. There are many companies that offer this round trip transfer (and guarantee we'll get back to the ship on time) so we can do it on our own. I'm just worried there's a reason the cruise isn't offering it and, perhaps, we should reconsider. I know the weather can be unpredictable in April but surely that's not the only reason? Any thoughts and opinions are welcome!

Plitvice wasn't offered on our Azamara Adriatic Intensive cruise in Oct. 2022.  We did Krka NP.  Here is the full list:
