Emergencies at Disney
Disney vacations are a dream come true for many. Families anticipate making lasting memories with their loved ones, but what many do not anticipate is that emergencies often occur even while on a Disney vacation.
Thankfully, Disney offers emergency preparedness for many different scenarios to keep Cast Members, Guests, and crew aboard the Disney Cruise Lines safe.
We have shared a few accounts of guests evacuated off a Disney Cruise Line for a medical emergency, the Disney Treasure saving four aboard a sinking catamaran, and a father and child being rescued after going overboard aboard the Disney Dream.
Man Overboard Reported
It has been reported that a "man overboard" has been called aboard the Disney Wish. The Wish left Nassau tonight (Tuesday, August 26, 2025) around 5:30 pm local time, and was making its way to Castaway Cay.
People on board the Wish reported that the call was made around 8 pm local time. The ship then turned around and rescue boats were deployed.
The Disney Wish is said to be about 15 miles north of Nassau when the man overboard call occurred.
What We Know
Passengers onboard reported that two boats were deployed. One boat returned with only crew members onboard, while the other boat remained searching.
It was last reported that Crew Members are still searching, and no further updates have been given.
Reports of a general alarm happening is also being shared. A general alarm has guests and crew report to their assembly stations. When this occurs, the crew will be able to determine an accurate headcount.
