AS FAR as spending the kids’
inheritance goes, this American
grandmother has it figured out.
Lee Wachtstetter, an 87-year
old known onboard as Mama
Lee, has clocked up seven years
living, yes…living, onboard
Crystal Cruises’ luxury vessel
Crystal Serenity, purchasing
endless back-to-back voyages.
Cruising was a passion while
her husband was alive, and in
their 50 years of marriage, the
pair went on 89 cruises prior to
his death from cancer in 1997.
On the advice of her daughter,
Lee sold her five-bedroom
home and continued to live her
passion, and has since become
something of a ship celebrity.
Her permanent cruise passion
has been tallied up to cost her
around US$164,000 per year
