I don't think it will benefit them as P&O operate a service to Bilbao

but thats just my opinion what do you guys think?

It will save a long drive if you live east, and once you are onboard you can relax,and enjoy.

I assuming they have done a little bit of research for starting the route, but a few years ago Acciona started up a competing route to Bilbao from Portsmouth with the cruise ferry Fortuny. 6 months later, it was gone, with Acciona saying that the service would resume with another vessel. Still waiting for that vessel to come...

I live in the east, Ipswich actually, and you do have a valid point, Driving down to Bournemouth is bad enough, let alone Plymouth. Especially if you use the M25, now dont get me started on that peice of road/car park.
