According to reports, the Disney Dream cruise ship was sailing at considerable speed when the girl fell, prompting an immediate response from the crew as a "man overboard" alert was issued. Passenger Laura Amador described the chilling sight of the rapidly disappearing figures in the water. The ship's captain slowed down and turned back to launch a rescue boat to retrieve the father and daughter duo, who were quickly brought aboard the tender ship.
Disney confirmed the rescue in a statement, recognizing the "exceptional skills and prompt actions" of their crew. Despite the emergency, the cruise continued its return to Fort Lauderdale as scheduled. While incidents of passengers falling overboard are relatively uncommon, successful recoveries remain infrequent. According to a 2019 report from the Cruise Lines International Association, only a fraction of overboard cases resulted in successful rescues.
The successful outcome of this incident was a source of relief and gratitude for those onboard the Disney Dream, leaving a lasting impression as they concluded their cruise journey.
