NEW: Father jumps overboard to save his 5-year-old daughter, who fell off a Disney cruise ship from the 4th deck into the ocean.
The ship was heading back to South Florida when the intense rescue was made.
"The ship was moving quickly, so quickly, it's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots in the sea, and then you lost sight of them," said a passenger.
The father reportedly jumped into the ocean the moment he realized his daughter had gone over.
"The captain slowed the ship and turned it around, and then they deployed a tender ship with people on it to go get them."
"I saw the mother crying and but when they rescued them, I think that's when the tears really started flowing, because you were just so overjoyed knowing and I prayed to God to save them, and He did," said another person on the ship.
Disney Cruise has since responded to the incident.
"We commend our Crew Members for their exceptional skills and prompt actions, which ensured the safe return of both guests to the ship within minutes," they said.
"We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols."
