New details emerge after 5-year-old fell off Disney cruise ship into the Atlantic Ocean
July 2, 2025
Authorities are clearing the air after erroneous speculation online blamed a father for his daughter’s fall from a Disney cruise ship on Sunday.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office told
CBS News Miami

The cruise ship was sailing between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale. The father jumped into the water to rescue her and was soon joined by Disney’s fast-acting crew members that brought both the father and daughter to safety.
“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,” Disney told

Far from being divers, we are curiosity seekers from New York, Vancouver, London, and Montreal, all obsessed with the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, which claimed 1,014 lives in 1914.
Until a few years ago, I had never heard of the Empress and its disastrous end. And that’s staggering, because the loss of passenger life (836) outnumbered that of the Titanic (832).
