The article notes: "Take Mama Lee, aka Lee Wachtstetter who has been sailing on Crystal Cruises’ Crystal Serenity for 10 years. The 90-year-old sold her Florida home and now sails around the world permanently. She has written a book, I May Be Homeless But You Should See My Yacht where she has detailed her journeys on-board the luxury vessel."

The article notes: "Another famous long-term cruiser, "Mama" Lee Wachtstetter, spent years aboard Crystal Serenity and wrote a memoir, "I May be Homeless but You Should See my Yacht." It detailed some of her cruising shenanigans, including a rogue wave in the Mediterranean and the time she was kidnapped by a tuk-tuk driver in Thailand."

- I recommend using the first hook, as both interesting and non-trivial. My review for it is as follows:
General eligibility:
- New enough:
- Long enough:
- Other problems:

| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
It might be worthwhile to change the wording slightly to "has traveled" as according to the sources she appears to still be traveling -- this may not be necessary but may convey the point better. This is my first review; I would appreciate a second set of eyes. RexSueciae (talk) 04:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the review, RexSueciae (talk · contribs)! Lee Wachtstetter lived on Crystal Serenity, which was owned by Crystal Cruises. Here are two sources I found:
- Diller, Nathan (2022-06-22). "Two Crystal Cruises ships will resume service in 2023 under new owners". USA Today. Archived from the original on 2022-08-06. Retrieved 2022-08-08.
The article notes: "After suspending operations earlier this year, Crystal Cruises will set sail again. A&K Travel Group, owned by Geoffrey Kent of luxury travel company Abercrombie & Kent and industrial holding company Heritage, purchased the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony ships, the companies announced Wednesday. A&K Travel Group also acquired the Crystal Cruises brand, and following "extensive refurbishment," the vessels will resume operations in 2023, according to a press release."
- Zingano, Alanna (2020-04-27). "Where Are They Now? Living At Sea Full-Time Cruisers During Pandemic". Archived from the original on 2022-08-08. Retrieved 2022-08-08 – via YouTube.
At 1 minute and 25 seconds into the video, the narrator, Alanna Zingano, says, "Now Mama Lee lives on the Crystal Serenity ship with Crystal Cruises. She as well has called cruise ships her home for over a decade. So I'm very happy to report that both are safe during this time. I have checked in on them from time to time and I am very pleased to let you know they are not displaced and homeless. Mama Lee is living in southern Florida where she is close to her family and of course she hopes to return to cruising soon."
I am adding this information here to provide more context and am fine with any revisions to the hook to make this more clear and accurate. Thank you,

- Cunard (talk · contribs) Oh, I see! In that case, I withdraw my suggestion for the wording change -- hook #1 looks good to me as it is. RexSueciae (talk) 11:48, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
