Several passengers on the Disney Dream cruise liner "witnessed nothing short of a miracle" yesterday, June 29, when two passengers were rescued safely from the water.
While neither the family involved nor Disney has confirmed the circumstances surrounding the incident, multiple social media reports from others onboard suggested that a father jumped into the ocean after his young daughter fell from a lower deck, helping her tread water for about 20 minutes before crew members brought them safely aboard a rescue vessel.
One TikTok user recounted the harrowing incident on the social media platform, sharing a video of the small rescue vessel quickly being lowered to the water directly below the camera. It navigated its way out to the stranded passengers, with their heads barely visible as they bobbed along in the waves.
The uploader blurred out the young girl’s figure for privacy, but at one point, her dad could be seen sitting in what appeared to be stunned silence, bracing himself against his knee.
The entire video, which spanned the boat being lowered to the ocean to its return to the ship’s side with the pair safely aboard, was barely more than five minutes long.
The videographer explained in the caption that they were in their stateroom when an announcement alerted the entire ship, "Mr MOB, Mr MOB, Mr MOB… port side," meaning there was a man overboard on the ship's left side. The woman, who goes only by CMD on the platform, called it "nothing short of a miracle," detailing how Disney employees quickly tossed multiple flotation devices into the water and got the ship turned around in a rescue that she said, "I will never forget."
Another user shared a clip of the rescue boat as it was raised back to the deck, confirming, "Disney team was super quick to turn [the] ship around and send the rescue team! Within 20 minutes from the first siren and announcement they had rescued them."
Many viewers commended the response, as well as the father's bravery. With just "Tiny dots left behind in a massive ocean" visible, plenty feared for the worst as they watched it all unfold in real-time.
According to Cruise Mapper, the ship was en route back to its home port of Fort Lauderdale at the time, on day three of a four-day cruise to the Bahamas. Disney confirmed to Fox 35 Orlando, "The Crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water. We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes. We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols."
