[Guardsy]

Do any recent travelers on the Emerald know if the sauna and steam rooms on Deck 16 inside the Lotus Spa are free to all passengers?

Sorry, with the last dry dock, the Steam and Saunas that were in the changing rooms on the Emerald were removed and accessible treatment rooms for the Spa took up this space. 
 

It has not been revealed if Princess plans to do this same remodel on its sister Grand class ships being, Sapphire, Diamond, Crown, Caribbean and Ruby that have the Sauna and Steam rooms in the changing rooms. Yes, they are complimentary to use with lockers you set your own code to lock.

The Sapphire was just in dry dock for 16 days in April. Sauna and steam rooms are still there and complimentary.

No, they are not. The Thermal Suite (deck 16 but accessed from the spa on 17) is a pay to play area ; complimentary for suite guests.

So there is no longer a sauna or steam room on the ship?

The thermal pool is available for all guests, yes?  At no fee?

Thermal Pool? Do you mean the Lotus Spa Pool on the same level as the Spa and changing rooms? Yes, the Lotus Spa pool is complimentary for all passengers and considered Adults only but not always enforced.

Emerald doesn't have a thermal pool.

It has the Lotus Spa pool, normal pool really, open to the elements, available to anyone 18 and up. It's not a hydro or thermal pool like the one in the Enclave on Royal class ships - nor is there any charge for it, like the Enclave. Anyone (adult) can use it anytime pools are open. Don't even have to go through the spa..
