Great to hear this as the sauna is a must have for my cruising enjoyment 😉

There is the same problem on Nieuw Statendam and Rotterdam with regards to lack of hanging space for clothes.

Just booked a 21 day cruise next June on HAL Rotterdam. I have been on Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam which are sister Pinnacle class ships. Can anyone confirm there is a free sauna like on the other two ships?

From personal experience HAL NS AND R have great single sex sauna with big window. NcL Pear has a single aex steam in mens gym locker room and a great single sex paid for spa area.

We like the new Pinnacle class ships on HAL (Rotterdam, Nieuw Statendam and Koningsdam) they have a great sauna with big window.

Yes it is worth the money.

Have done the thermal spa on Gem. Jade and Jewel. It has never been crowded but always had some company especially late afternoon and sea days. Enjoy!!

For me it is between 4 and 6 pm.

I do, will only book a cruise that has a men only sauna and or steam.

Emerald Princess has great free sauna and steam and in my experience has a good amount of traffic. HAL Koningsdam, Niew Statendam and Rotterdam as well as Cunard Queen Elizaberh and Victoria have a great free sauna in mens locker room with large qindow onto the ocean. Have found these ships all have a good social crowd especially mid to late afternoon. All Jewel class ships on NCL have a great mens only fee paying spa area which I feel is well worth the money, they also have a free steam room in mens gym locker room.

Is the men only area in the paid for spa area or in mens changing rooms that anyone can use?
