DAD JUMPS IN OCEAN TO SAVE DAUGHTER ON DISNEY CRUISE

It's reasonable to say that falling from a cruise ship would be a nightmare, even if no vacation is risk-free, whether you're hitting the ski slopes or lounging on sandy beaches.

For a family on a Disney Dream Cruise returning from the Bahamas to Florida over the weekend, this was regrettably their reality. How it all happened is unclear, but as the ship headed back to Fort Lauderdale, a toddler fell from it. After that, her father rushed in to try to save her.

Before witnessing the crew go into action, many reported hearing the emergency "man overboard" notification on social media. Though it would have undoubtedly been a horrible experience for everyone involved, both were fortunately saved. 

"The crew aboard the Disney Dream immediately rescued two customers from the sea," a Disney Cruise Line representative told The Street. We applaud our crew members for their outstanding abilities and quick thinking, which ensured that both visitors returned safely to the ship in a matter of minutes. This incident demonstrates how well our safety procedures work, and we are dedicated to our guests' safety and well-being."

Cruise lines reported 212 overboard events between 2009 and 2019; only 48 passengers were rescued after falling, implying that approximately three-quarters of those who went overboard did not survive.

Nevertheless, it is very uncommon to fall from a boat. The probabilities are around 0.00004 percent, according to the Cruise Lines International Association, so travellers shouldn't worry too much.

What occurs when someone jumps overboard on a cruise ship is detailed below, along with what you should do in that situation. According to what guests have heard, a "man overboard" warning is sent to the bridge as soon as someone goes overboard on a cruise ship. To get everyone in rescue mode, the bridge crew then announces "Code Oscar" over the ship's public address system. 

If someone sees someone falling into the ocean, they should report it right away and provide as detailed a description as they can, including the person's clothing, the location of the ship, and the exact moment it happened. The team can find the person more quickly thanks to these crucial details, and in a scenario this dangerous, every second matters.

When most passengers hear "Code Oscar," they become alarmed and confused, rushing to Google the meaning and check in with friends and relatives. The coordinates of the ship and as much information as possible regarding the fall are recorded by the bridge upon receiving a "man overboard" report.

Accurate location information, including the ship's position and the deck or railing from where the victim fell, is crucial to focusing the search because it takes time to turn a large vessel around and stop it safely. The ship reverses course at the fastest safe speed after recording the incident's location.

The fleet's nearby ships are alerted and change course to help. From the decks above, lookouts survey the surface while crew members lower life rafts and rescue boats into the ocean. In the meantime, the overboard passenger's travelling companions receive emotional support from officers and professional personnel.

In order to be with loved ones ashore, family members and friends are frequently offered the choice to depart at the next port, even if the search is unsuccessful. Every opportunity for recovery is increased by the combination of prompt crew response, accurate witness reporting, and coordinated operations with other ships and rescue boats.
