The giving of a gratuity (or tipping) is always a matter of personal choice, and advising a guideline is always fraught. If the service received on board has been estimated by guests as to their expectations, or hopefully exceeded them, then perhaps £10 per guest per day might well be appropriate. All such gratuities are pooled and distributed equally amongst the hotel crew.
