Overview

• On June 29 a young girl fell from Deck 4 of the Disney Dream as it cruised between the Bahamas and Florida, prompting an immediate “Mr. M. O.B.” man-overboard alert.
• The girl’s father jumped overboard and kept her afloat in choppy waters until crew lowered life preservers and a rescue boat within minutes.
• Disney Cruise Line credited its overboard detection systems and emergency drills for the rapid recovery of both guests without injuries.
• Both the father and daughter are in stable condition after the ordeal and have returned to the ship.
• Disney Cruise Line has launched an investigation into how the child breached the ship’s plexiglass safety barriers on Deck 4.
