I have worked with a lot of americans in the past and they have always been surprised by how much we have tipped during our trips to Florida. While we are always being led to believe that we as Brits are lousy tippers I think the opposite is true and that we generally tip a lot better than than americans themselves do.
Dont stress about it, enjoy your trip and tip what you feel is a reasonable amount for the service your have received.
While majority of us on forums know the reasons for tipping there are many UK travellers who don't so I guess its those who give us the bad reputation. For example my Uncle totally refuses to tip anywhere, his attitude is if they don't like the wage find another job, just can't get him to understand meals in US are cheaper as they don't include service, you pay it at the end of the meal based on how good the service was.
