Hi Idros,
The Pride sauna/steam are both a good size.  I posted pictures in this thread somewhere.
As you enter locker room you walk through two very noisy, swinging saloon-style doors:

• lockers and a bench are to your left.  Lockers have key combinations so no need to leave your card with spa staff.
• very private shower rooms line the right side wall of the hallway straight ahead.  Shower rooms have lockable wooden doors, a small bench/changing area just inside the door, then the shower area itself with body jets and rainshower overhead.  Nicest showers I have seen and so much bigger than cabin showers, 3 or 4 people could probably fit.
• bathroom entrance door is first along left side wall.
• steam room is just after the bathroom (and directly across from showers).  Steam room has a full, wall-sized opaque window to outside.  Tile benches on either side facing each other, each holds 3 guys comfortably. Only natural light so nice and relaxing.  Glass door, usually fogged up but you can see in/out.
• sauna is just past the steamroom on the left.  Sauna has a single, 2-tiered bench and a window like the steam room.  Glass door.
• At the end of the hallway is a heavy door that elads to the gym and free co-ed hot tub.  The door is quite loud but closes slowly so it desnt actually latch shut until you are past the sauna.

All in all these are great facilities.  Never overly busy during my cruises but might get 3 or 4 guys at a time.  Late at night (last hour before closing time) is so relaxing and steam room is especially dark (I almost fell asleep once).  Late night is usually pretty empty but I have encountered Staff members enjoying the steam/sauna in their off hours and the ones I have met definitely share our love of these areas.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the detailed information.  It is very helpful and looking forward to use the facilities, not only the steam and sauna, but those showers sound amazing!!!

How is the sauna and steam room in the Carnival Pride?  This is the first time for us on a Spirit Class.  I've enjoyed the steam room and the sauna at the bigger ships like the Valor, Conquest, Sunshine, etc, During my last cruise (can't remember the Carnival ship) I found out that  after the dry dock they removed the sauna and the steam room (both with big outside windows) and put a small sauna in the men's locker room.  It was quite small, but it did the job.  A couple of times went to use it, but it was quite full.  Now that finally cruises are back, we are planning a cruise out of Baltimore in mid Oct and with so many sea days I'm looking forward to step away from the family for some me time in the sauna and steam room.  Any info will be greatly appreciated.
