Disney Magic cruise ship rescues stranded boaters

[INDENT][font="Times New Roman"] WINTER PARK, Fla. — The Disney Magic cruise ship rescued more than a dozen people who were stranded at sea.

The ship, which is normally based in Port Canaveral, is spending the summer in Europe.

Early Friday morning, the ship overheard radio traffic of two other vessels searching for a boat in distress, the cruise line said.

Disney said the Magic then decided to join in the search and located the boat almost immediately. Disney said the boat in distress had lost power.

A Disney Cruise Line representative said the ship used one of its rescue boats to get to the 18 stranded boaters.

The 16 men and two women were taken on board the Magic and received medical attention, Disney said. They were then given staterooms, and later disembarked in Barcelona.

Great story with a happy end.

But you know, I just realized that now there will be people jumping off boats from all over the world hoping to be picked up by a Disney Cruise ship.

Heh... isn't that what they said when people found out Harrison Ford moonlights as a heli-rescue pilot?
