Hi in Bilbao we just used the ship's shuttle and took ourselves around the old quarter and the weird museum. In La Rochelle I think we did a wine tour but lots of people went in to the harbour area via the ship's shuttle and had a great afternoon. You may find it cheaper to do this.

 

Have any excursions caught your eye?

Bilbao and La Rochelle they have shuttles (free to savers, or were) to the town centres. There's plenty to do in either port. Been to La Rochelle half a dozen times (mostly by car). Bilbao has the Guggenheim museum which is a 10 minute walk from the drop off but check its open on the day you are in port because it closes every Monday or something like that.

 

Guernsey is a great place, the buses aren't brilliant - depends how well the disembarkation goes - there's stuff in St Peter's Port, certainly, not sure how easy it is to explore further. Last time we booked a car rental with non-dock insurance (and it didn't dock) so we could explore, but then we've been to St Peter's Port.

Might be worth looking at a taxi there or similar if there are more than 2 of you especially. When we were in La Coruna the taxis and entrance fees for the four of us was about the same as a single P&O excursion there.... you can get there by bus but the timetables are a bit erratic.
