“In the six years that Princess Cruises has commissioned this survey, we’ve continued to see stress levels rise year after year,” said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises. “This is an unsustainable trend that can have a genuinely adverse impact on our society as a whole.”
When the cruise line did the survey last year, 38% of respondents said they felt guilty about relaxing.
Summer seems like the time where we should all be slowing down and expending as little energy as possible, especially with the kids out of school. But the survey respondents tell a different story: Some 77 percent of respondents who are parents said they were busier during the summer than the rest of the year.
More than half of the respondents said that when they get home, they feel like they need another vacation to recover.
