Disney confirmed the June 29th rescue, stating both were recovered within minutes. Social media posts suggest the daughter fell, prompting the father to jump in after her. Disney praised the crew's swift actions and commitment to guest safety. The ship was returning to Fort Lauderdale from a four-night cruise. Passengers shared videos of the rescue, highlighting the crew's efficiency and the fortunate outcome.
