The 18-month-old girl slipped from his arms and fell from the 11th floor of Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas ship.
The child is believed to have fallen onto the concrete below while the ship was docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The tot was rushed to hospital at around 4:30 p.m. local time yesterday.
According to the local Primer Hora website, the girl was from Indiana and on holiday with her parents and grandparents.
The girl's family have not yet been quizzed by detectives but police have said they believe the incident was a tragic accident.
"At one point, one of her grandparents... in an act of games, exposes the girl to the void and falls out of his hands."

Awful - I heard it this morning. So saddening & tragic.
You are correct and I am sorry you had to experience the stupid first hand.
a lot of so-called adults think it is ever so clever and funny to abuse children. my ex’s cousin once did a ‘magic’ trick in which he ended up with some money I had given my daughter. he stuffed it in his pocket and the family laughed. my daughter didn’t (she cried when he wouldn’t give her her money back), and neither did I.
I was pilloried by the family, and he wasn’t allowed in my house again....but the kid got her money back.
btw all progressive democrats
I’ve never understood the “humor” people find in deliberately causing a child distress. I’m not talking about telling a child “no” about something knowing that they’ll be upset to be thwarted; I’m talking about doing things to make yourself and other people laugh. I think it’s cruel and mean-spirited, damaging to the children, and unfortunately in some cases dangerous.
I’ll bet the grandfather is a democrat...
Was he doing his Michael Jackson impression?
I can’t stand this.
Just dreadful. RIP.

I’m with you and I consider it emotional abuse. Making someone, anyone cry then saying “awww you just can’t take a joke” is definitely abuse.
Do we believe God will forgive him?
And I’m guessing booze/drugs is involved.
