A 5-year-old girl fell 50 feet into the ocean from a Disney cruise ship, reportedly because her small size failed to activate the ship’s man-overboard sensors, Florida authorities have stated.

The alarms on the Disney Dream were silent until the girl’s father made a daring leap into the sea after her. This incident occurred on June 29 as the cruise ship was returning to Florida from the Bahamas, according to a report from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, as highlighted by People magazine.

The report detailed that the young girl was walking with her family on the ship’s fourth deck when her mother asked her to pose for a photo on a railing near an open porthole. Detective Christopher Favitta noted that the child lost her balance and fell into the ocean at 11:29 a.m., but her small stature did not activate the man-overboard (MOB) sensors.

It was only when the father jumped in after her, 45 seconds later, that the alarm was triggered at 11:30 a.m. The alert was then relayed through the ship’s communication system a minute later.

The youngster’s father dove overboard 45 seconds later, setting off the alarm at 11:30 a.m., with the alert then broadcast to the ocean liner’s communication system a minute after.

Rescue crews launched at 11:40 a.m. and pulled both family members from the water nine minutes later. They were taken to the ship’s medical center for treatment just before noon, the report states.

Both the girl and her father were then transported ashore to Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, where the father was treated for an unspecified ailment.

The girl miraculously suffered no injuries.

Both parents were cleared of any criminal charges, according to court documents seen by The Post.

The father was initially praised for his heroism, until unsubstantiated rumors claimed that he was responsible for his daughter’s fall, forcing authorities to put out a statement absolving him of any blame.

Criminal charges were initially recommended against the mother, but the Broward County State Attorney’s Office ultimately opted not to prosecute and closed the case.

Disney Cruise Line did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
