(napping is one of my favorite activites on ships :-) ). I just had clients back from a Voyager cruise and they had guests to lunch in HNL. Like you, they weren't charged for their guests' meals and they were told "not to worry about it.". They took the $150 pp Virtuoso shipboard credits instead of the Virtuoso excursions -- since the Regent ones were already included -- and spent them in the shop.
How many others on the cruise were doing the full cruise vs segments? If you could have only done a few segments, which would you pick?
I would add all-inclusive Silversea to the OP's list. All food and drink, other than at one specialty restaurant with an excellent wine list, is included as are gratuities, etc. Thgis includes stocking the bar in your suite with premium wines and liquors if desired.
In addition to being all-inclusive, I receive an $800 pp credit (Read "additional discount from already discounted from brochure rate") and book my own flights using points.
