An 86-year old Florida widow has spent nearly seven years living on a luxury cruise ship, paying $164,000 (over Rs 1 crore) a year to do so.Lee Wachtstetter, known as "Mama Lee" aboard the Crystal Serenity ship, became a permanent resident of the seas after her husband died.
"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," the former registered nurse told The Asbury Park Press.
And if that's not enough to make you feel at home, the ship was christened by Dame Julie Andrews on July 3, 2003 in Southampton, England. She says there are plenty of opportunities to make new friends and dance with the ship's dance hosts.
"My husband introduced me to cruising," Wachtstetter told The Asbury Park Press. "Mason was a banker and real estate appraiser and taught me to love cruising. During our 50-year marriage we did 89 cruises. I've done nearly a hundred more and 15 world cruises."
