The pair were rescued by crew from the Disney Dream after the father treaded water with his 5-year-old daughter for about 20 minutes, the release said. The incident happened about 11:30 a.m. Sunday when the girl “lost her balance while sitting on a railing and falling backward through a porthole,” the release said.

The girl went overboard from Deck 4 on Sunday, June 29, as the Disney Dream was heading back to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from The Bahamas. The child's fall occurred around 11:30 a.m.

Authorities have released new information after a 5-year-old fell off a Disney cruise ship and her father jumped into the ocean to save her.
