A father went overboard after his daughter fell from the Disney Dream Cruise as it sailed back to Florida from the Bahamas Sunday, according to reporting from various media outlets.
The four-day cruise was sailing back to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale when the child went overboard and her father followed after her. The child allegedly fell from the ship’s “deck 4,” according to media, which is about 20 feet above the waterline. That area has a walkable promenade with a railing and plastic covering meant to block anyone from climbing over.
The man and his child treaded water for about 20 minutes before they were rescued by crew, according to media.
