Have always loved Azamara, but haven't been for years as it can be expensive. Got a great deal from Iglu (it was even cheaper than on the Azamara website!) and had a wonderful time. The ships wasn't full; I think there were only about 500 of us, so no queues and lots of people to meet. The service was excellent and the staff were really friendly and lovely. Would definitely go on another one if there are future deals.

It was mostly used for gladiatorial combat and fights with animals until around the 6th century when it began to fall into disrepair.

As it stands now, however, more than two-thirds of the structure has been destroyed.
