After insulting survivors of the cruise ship disaster by offering them 30 percent off future trips, Costa Cruises has now agreed to pay each passenger $14,460 as compensation for psychological trauma and lost baggage.

Still many passengers who had to desperately jump to safety onto lifeboats after the $450 million cruise liner crashed into a reef off the coast of Tuscany on January 13 think that it is not enough because they can't yet put a figure on the cost of the trauma they endured.

The offer was negotiated by a consumer group working with 3,206 passengers from 61 countries, none of whom were injured in the accident, reported the Huffington Post.

It has been a week since the mighty Costa Concordia cruise ship crashed into a reef off the coast of Italy, sending 4,200 passengers plunging into the sea.

Now two of the American survivors of the disaster are speaking out about their near-death experience and the dream honeymoon that turned into a nightmare.

Newlyweds Benji Smith and Emily Lau, of Boston, Massachusetts, are now considering taking legal action against the cruise ship company, who they think should take some of the blame for the accident along with Captain Francesco Schettino.
