Vacationers witnessed a dramatic spectacle when a dad dove off the side of a Disney cruise liner to save his daughter after she fell overboard. The ‘Disney Dream’ was on its way from Florida to the Bahamas when the girl went over sometime on Sunday. Passengers were alerted after the tannoy announced “Mr MOB, port side” (meaning man overboard to the left of the ship). One holidaymaker posted to Facebook that the girl, who appeared to be around five-years-old, had toppled from the fourth deck. Her father spent about 20 minutes treading water with his arms around the girl before a yellow rescue boat eventually came to the rescue. “Lots of praying folks on this ship!” as one passenger put it. Disney Cruise Line has praised staff’s response to the incident. “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,” a spokesperson told USA Today. “We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols.”
