A father, whose daughter fell from a 14-deck cruise from Disney, jumped into the ocean to try to save her.
The film material published in the social media showed that the father held his daughter for 10 minutes as he stepped water.
The young girl fell from the fourth deck of the Disney dream when her father took her photo against a railing, said witnesses.
The cruise ship returned to Florida after a four -person cruise on the Bahamas when the emergency code “MR MOB”, which means that the man was overboard, sounded over the intercom.
A bright yellow lifeboat was quickly lowered into the ocean before it jumped to the couple and pulled on board.
They then started clapping and cheering with passengers when the rescue teams brought them back to the cruise ship.

Laura Amador, a passenger on board the ship, told CBS News: “The ship moved quickly, so quickly that it is crazy how quickly people got tiny points in the sea, and then they lost sight of them.
“The captain slowed down the ship and turned it over, and then they used a tender ship with people to get them and we saw the father and daughter saved.”
Another passenger announced NBC News that they watched the two family members entered the ocean before they had almost disappeared on the horizon.
“We saw it, you could see two little things … it was crazy, it was terrible,” said Frantz.
In view of the season, the water in the North Atlantic would probably have felt warm and a minimal risk of hypothermia would have shown in the sea during their short time.
Disney confirmed in a statement that two passengers were saved, even though they did not offer any further details.
A spokesman for Disney Cruise Line said: “The crew on board the Disney Dream quickly saved two guests out of the water.
“We praise our crew members for their extraordinary skills and quick measures that secured the safe return of both guests to the ship within a few minutes.”
Cruise ships are usually equipped with above -board detection systems that activate when incidents occur in real time.
According to a report by the Cruise Lines International Association, around 25 people of cruise ships were overboard in 2019.
