On June 29, 2025, a young girl fell overboard from Deck 4 of the Disney Dream cruise ship while it was sailing between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale, prompting her father to jump in after her. The ship's 'Mr. M.O.B.' (man overboard) protocol was activated, and crew members responded within minutes, deploying life preservers and a rescue boat. Both the girl and her father were safely rescued with no injuries reported. The incident has sparked discussions about cruise ship safety, as the area was reportedly lined with plexiglass barriers and the ship was equipped with advanced overboard detection systems.
