When a young girl unintentionally fell from the Disney Dream into the open ocean, a magical Disney Cruise almost ended tragically.
Without hesitation, her father jumped overboard after her, determined to bring her back, out of pure instinct and love.
After days of family fun in the Bahamas, the ship was making its last journey home to Fort Lauderdale.
The chilly “Man Overboard” announcement that reverberated throughout the ship abruptly broke the silence.
In order to find and save the two, crew members moved quickly and smoothly into action.
In a matter of seconds, the father and daughter were retrieved from the water safely, both of them shaken but unharmed.
The outcome was a testament to Disney’s emergency training, even though the cause of the fall is still unknown.
