Two people who fell into the Atlantic Ocean while they were aboard the Disney Cruise ship called Disney Dream were rescued by lifeboats after the crew was alerted by a young girl fell overboard into the Atlantic Ocean.
An adult male who is likely her father also jumped into the Atlantic Ocean in an effort to rescue his daughter over the weekend during daytime hours.
The crew aboard the cruise ship immediately sent a lifeboat to rescue the couple who were swimming in the ocean and return them back to the ship safely
Both persons who fell overboard the cruise ship are expected to make a full recovery from their fall from at least four stories into the ocean.
The incident happened near Indian Rocks Beach Florida.

How old was the daughter and if both were adults was one drunk?

The age of the couple was not mentioned. Disney cruise officials have no idea if the female was drunk or sober.

I heard this earlier, a miracle the little girl survived. Most often if someone goes overboard on a cruise, they don't make it.

@MarieCoyle I remember a Batman cartoon that played on Fox Kids where The Joker told one of his enemies that he can be killed via the impact from the landing instead of the flight.

Many people do not realize that falling from a long way to hit a body of water is forceful, and often deadly.
In my case, I think I would die of fright on the way down! Can you imagine what you would be thinking as you fell? Utter shock!

Many times the distance from one of those top decks, etc. to the water is a long, long way down. Even lethal.

@Deepizzaguy I don’t think he meant for her to fall; I think he was just way too careless.

I can only hope that the dad did not stage rescuing his daughter in the accident.

I know that it takes a lot of courage to dive into the ocean from four stories high.

They are SO lucky to have survived. It was very possible that no one would have even known that they were overboard.

Faling four stories to the water below can either bones or even kill someone on impact.

@LindaOHio That is true since I have taken rides on roller coasters and the falling down on the roller coaster is very scary.

I hope that the couple do not jump overboard a cruise ship again either.

@Ineeddentures Thank you for sharing what happened since the evening news only gave the story a few minutes of airtime.

Kids need to have rules and be supervised while on these huge ships. That is very scary.

The young girl was posing for picture near the rail when she fell down according to another My Lotter named Jimlos Tatooth who shared what happened on this site.

@Deepizzaguy I'm very sorry for the girl. Anyway she'd been rescued and she's safe now.

I've been on 49 cruises and it's nearly impossible to just "fall" off of one.

It is very rare for anyone to fall overboard a cruise ship other than jumping off a boat on purpose.
