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.

The 5-year-old girl who fell from a Disney cruise was not placed on the ship's railing by her dad, authorities tell PEOPLE. The girl fell overboard, followed by her dad who jumped in to save her. Both were rescued and returned to the ship.
