This being the week of National Relaxation Day — of course you knew it was August 15, didn't you? — Princess Cruises annually gets in the spirit of the occasion with a survey about what makes a vacation relaxing.
Well, it's sort of about relaxing. More like about things that accompany relaxing.
Like sex.
Now that we have your attention, here are some of the survey's results (a sampling of 1,008 American adults 18 and older between August 1 and August 4) that you might 
find, er, intriguing:
• The celebrity who women (40 per cent) would prefer to relax with is Ellen DeGeneres, while the men's preference is Taylor Swift or Scarlett Johansson.
• Parents prefer sleeping more on a vacation than non-parents. It gets better. Parents prefer getting more sleep on vacation than having more sex.
• More men (45 per cent) feel relaxed when they return home from a vacation while more women (43 per cent) feel they need a vacation from a vacation.
• One in four Millenials (18 to 31 years) pick "sleep" as the "activity" they enjoy more away from home while only one in seven Boomers (over 65) are eager to sleep more when on holidays.
• The favorite female and male celebrities to vacation with for Millenials are Scarlett 
Johansson and Ashton Kutcher while the favorites of Boomers are Ellen DeGeneres and Anderson Cooper.
• Women (25 per cent) would rather read more on vacation; men (34 per cent) would rather have more sex.
Princess Cruises is vitally interested in such a survey because its theme is to help customers "escape completely" on its ships but is not necessarily planning to implement results in its marketing (more sex?).
And there's something everybody needs to remember about this.
It's a survey, so…relax.
