On January 8, 2015, a passenger on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas ship fell overboard around a mile off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico.
The 22-year-old man was rescued at around 6:30am after Disney Magic cruise ship passenger Scott Campbell heard the man’s cries from his state room balcony. After quickly telling Disney’s guest services there was a man overboard, they sprang into action and sent a lifeboat out.
Another Disney Magic passenger David Hearn caught the rescue on video from the ship’s deck. Watch his raw video below, which he posted to YouTube, the rescue begins around 55 seconds into the video.

He was VERY lucky!
While we were on our Disney cruise in Feb. 2014 aboard the Disney Dream, we watched them practice launching the lifeboats and doing sea rescues just like this while docked at port.

Two Girls and a Mouse Tale

Ever wonder what it’s like to work for Disney???
We worked at WDW for a year in the Disney College Program (Fall 2013/Spring 2014) and have written a book about what it’s like to be a cast member working for Disney.
We’ve included advice on how to successfully get into the DCP program, including some of the actual phone interview questions, how to have a successful internship, and how not self-term before your program ends. Our book is filled with lots of behind-the-scene stories of the magic of Disney. Available now at Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats. Published by Theme Park Press.
