Meet 86-year-old Lee Wachtstetter(pictured right) who sold her luxury home
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to permanently reside at sea, after her
dying husband told her to "never stop cruising".
Lee (aka Mama Lee) spends £108,000 a year to live on a cruise ship, a
1,070-passenger Crystal Serenity. And have lived in the ship for seven years.
According to reports, Her husband Mason, a banker, introduced her to cruising and the pair enjoyed 89 during their 50-year marriage. Since his death from cancer in 1997 she has done nearly a hundred more and 15 around the world trips.
"The day before my husband died of cancer in 1997, he told me, 'Don't stop cruising. So here I am today living a stress-free, fairy-tale life. You can find gorgeously regal or glitzy outfits there, perfect for formal or casual wear and not terribly expensive. I have to restrain myself every time because of my limited cabin space. I dance every night for a couple hours after dinner, have been doing it for years. And I've also trained with the ship's dance instructors. Mama lee said.
Lee who's also a grandmother admits she misses her family, but stays in touch with her three sons and seven grandchildren via the web.
