A dad became her daughter’s hero for jumping into the ocean to save her after the 5-year-old girl fell overboard on a Disney cruise this weekend. Apparently the dad sat her on the railing, according to a witness.
The Disney Dream was returning to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Sunday, June 29, following a four-night cruise in the Bahamas and made a stop at Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, when the incident took place.
‘The Crew aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the water,’ Disney Cruise Line said in a statement to PEOPLE.
‘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 lifeboat can be seen floating in the choppy waters with people sitting inside.
There were no injuries reported.
