Folks on this thread have been so supportive. Thank you so much. Really appreciate the comments and photos. I'll report back whilst on the cruise how we're coping! It's just ridiculous how HAL is decommissioning a feature of the ship so integral on sea days. We've got 7 straight sea days and they've chosen to take it offline then! Ridiculous!

The men's and women's free sauna is totally separate from the spa area so I would expect them still to be open.
That's a relief! At least we'll have that! Our cruising days revolves around eating, going to the gym, fitness classes and the spa, with most of our time spent in the thermal suites. We were sat around last night wondering what we're going to do on a 14 day voyage! Holland America has cancelled Lincoln Centre Stage - that was the only entertainment we enjoy. We were left a bit stumped, to say the least.

I know the pinnacle class all have men and women's sauna's one the port side of deck 9 (Panorama deck) forward in the spa area. These are beautiful with a huge floor to ceiling window right in the sauna. I loved the sauna on the Nieuw Statendam, but I only discovered on day 3. I went every day after that and enjoyed socializing and sweating. I love having the segregated saunas. They have showers in the sauna and a cold bucket shower, too. Bring water/water bottle, as there is now fountain in there. Towels are provided. Enjoy. I've heard that the Vista Class sips also have saunas as well but they are inside the men's lockerrom. None of the saunas actually are listed on deck plans.
We just found out for our upcoming 14 day transatlantic cruise that the hydropool is being repaired. HAL cancelled our Thermal Suite passes (refunds have not come through yet). This is a HUGE letdown for us and has put a real dampener on the entire trip. Can we assume the free sauna is available still?
Free Mens sauna, steam room

They indicated it will be offline the first 10 out of 14 days. The last 4 days of the cruise are port days. Effectively on the days the facilities would be most utilised, they aren’t available.
