The incident happened Sunday aboard the Disney Dream as it sailed between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale.
An emergency alert sounded through the ship as crew members launched a rescue boat and tossed life preservers into the water.
The Disney Dream docked at Port Everglades early Monday morning after a four-night Bahamian cruise.
"Yeah, I only saw one fall, but I didn't see the other person. I thought it was only one person. It was a grown up. I think they were trying to take a picture on the railing. They were trying to see," Noeayala32 said in the video.
"Oh, I see him, yeah, bless his heart. How did he survive that long? Two people, bless their hearts," passenger Melanie Rickman said as she recorded the rescue on her phone. "Oh my God, that's a dad that needs to have a hero. He's a hero. He jumped in to save his child. He's a hero, he's a hero, that man is a hero," said passenger Tracy Robinson-Hughes, from Charleston, South Carolina, as she took a video of the rescue.
