What should we tip a steward for room service eg bringing tea/coffee or a
meal to our cabin?

Thanks - Dave

Depending on the quantity of food being delivered and for how many
people, $2-5. I've never had a full dinner delivered, so not sure of
the extent to which the deliverer sets the meal up for you. But, I
could see tipping closer to $10 if it's multi courses. multiple trips
to carry everything in, setting a table, etc.

Two dollar bills are great for this, or perhaps
two 50p coins.

Unique enough to be remembered.
Cheers, and have a good trip
