A Disney Cruise Line vacation turned into a terrifying scene after a young girl fell overboard. Her father immediately leaped into the ocean after her during a return voyage from the Bahamas.
The incident occurred on June 29 aboard the Disney Dream – a $900 million luxury ship – when it sailed back to Fort Lauderdale from a four-night Bahamian cruise that included a stop at Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.
Passengers were wa:rned to the unfolding emergency as the ship’s intercom sounded the code “Mr. M.O.B.” (man overboard), the Daily Mail reports.
Passengers have described the horror when they winessed the girl tumble into the Atlantic Ocean from Deck 4, which features a walking track lined with plexiglass safety barriers. In spite of these safety measures, it remains unclear how the child managed to fall.
