"The company is not only going to refund everybody, but they will offer a 30% discount on future cruises if they want to stay loyal to the company," said a Costa Cruises spokesperson according to the New York Daily News.
But even if the company upped the offer on an upcoming trip, that may be enough to satisfy passengers. Some survivors already plan on filing a class-action suit in which they will seek $160,000 per passenger, an total that will reach over $500 million if all the ships passengers were paid.
On Monday, divers pulled two more bodies from the ship as it continues to sit off the Tuscan island of Giglio, increasing the death toll to 15 with the number of missing still as high as 25 passengers.
