'Then this awful scream from what I assume is the mother and then this massive splash,' she continued.
'It sounded like hitting pavement, nothing like if you jump into a pool, it was so loud.'
The girl fell from the fourth deck of the Disney Dream ship on Sunday as they traveled between Nassau and Grand Bahama Island, according to the Disney Dream Cruise Ship Facebook Group.
A man identified as her father immediately jumped in after her and treaded water for 20 minutes until one of the cruise ship's rescue boat arrived.

It's not exactly clear how the child fell, however one witness recounted the 'horrific' scene to NBC News, saying the child fell from a railing.
'She was sitting on the rail, and he wanted to take a picture, and she fell off,' Gar Frantz told the outlet.
'We were just on that deck. And then you saw them throwing, like, life jackets over the sides and stuff.'

Owners Try and Film Husky Escaping in Backyard, but She Has Other Plans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman trying to capture a typical moment from her dog got a big—and hilarious—surprise. Her TikTok video of the moment has left the internet in stitches, showcasing her husky, who thwarted her attempt to document the dog's escape habit by stealing the camera mid-act. The footage has resonated with countless husky owners who are all too familiar with the breed's mischievous nature. "POV: You try to record how your dog has been escaping the backyard, but she had ideas of her own," the woman, @kimberlyjaidyn08, captioned the video, which shows the phone set up to film their husky's antics in the backyard. However, before the camera can capture her secret, the dog grabs the phone in her mouth and runs away. Stock photo: A Husky in an outdoor garden. Stock photo: A Husky in an outdoor garden. TRAVELARIUM/Getty Images "Oh," one commenter reacted. "I've never been carried by a dog before." TikTok users were quick to react, many acknowledging the breed's well-known intelligence and Houdini-like tendencies. "You're not supposed to show a husky where the camera is," one person wrote. "They too smart for that (I have three)," one commenter warned. Another user imagined the dog's thought process: "Mom forgot her rectangle, which is so weird, cause she takes it everywhere, I'll take it back to her." The escape artist reputation of huskies was also a recurring theme in the comments. "Once I saw that she's a husky, I knew it was over (I have a husky that also loves to escape, so I had to get a really long lead for her, so she can't miraculously hop the fence)," one user shared. Another TikToker wrote: "She's a husky. They're father-in-law's husky jumps their chicken wire and metal fence all the time, especially when it storms. He just goes to the front door though." "I was warned by my boyfriend (he has a husky and recently have a husky puppy to our little family) that they are Escape Pro," another added. "But this is so funny and cute." The American Kennel Club (AKC) describes the Siberian husky as "a thickly coated, compact sled dog of medium size and great endurance." They are known for their "keen but amiable and even mischievous expression." Beyond their appearance, huskies are renowned for their high energy levels and a strong desire to explore. The AKC noted that Huskies are energetic and love a chase—secure running room is "a must," so, it seems the creator definitely provided the right environment for her sly pup. The breed's sociable nature also plays a role in their behavior. The AKC stated that as pack dogs, they enjoy quality time with their owners and other dogs. This combination of intelligence, energy and a friendly disposition makes for a dog that is both endearing and capable of surprising its owners with its antics.

TikToker Charley Marlowe joins Radio 1 as presenter
TikTok star Charley Marlowe is set to join BBC Radio 1 as a summer presenter, the station has announced. Charley, who also narrates BBC Three's I Kissed A Girl, will host the Early Breakfast show on Fridays from August. She says she's "absolutely buzzing" and plans to play "as much Jane McDonald and Kylie Minogue as the BBC allow". A number of other changes have also been announced to the schedule, including Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing stepping back from the Going Home show for a couple of months due to filming commitments. His afternoon slot will be covered by Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston until September, when Jamie will be rejoined by co-host Katie Thistleton as she returns from maternity leave. It comes just over a month since the last shake-up of the slot, when Radio 1 bosses announced Jamie would temporarily be joined by his wife, Sophie Habboo. At the same time, they also announced another social media star, GK Barry, joining the line-up. The TikToker and I'm a Celeb star's summer-long stint as the weekend afternoon host starts from this Saturday. The summer schedule will also see Greg James' Breakfast show running for an extra half an hour each weekday from 21 July until September. Tskenya Frazer will join Lauren Layfield to co-host Life Hacks for July after a successful stint during the 2024 festive period as part of the station's Christmas Takeover. "I am so looking forward to bringing my lived experience and hearty vibes to the show," she said. She'll swap with DJ and former Capital Xtra's Breakfast Show presenter Yinka Bokinni for August. The station also announced plans to cover TRNSMT, Boomtown, Ibiza, Malta and Reading and Leeds festivals live, including headline sets and backstage access.
