My husband and I were in an accessable stateroom on the Vista deck on the Constellation. My suggestion to you would be to rent a scooter. We did from Scootaround.com and it made the cruise much nicer. It is difficult to push the wheelchair on the rugs and over the little bumps going down the hallway. Also, it is just easier going through the doors to the pool and out onto the decks with a scooter. My husband had no trouble and my back was saved, thanks to the scooter.
There is an area in the rear of the theater for wheelchairs, etc. And, when we boarded, I went to the Matre d' and told him that my husband was using a scooter and he arranged for a very nice table near the stairway for our group. The waiters enjoyed driving the scooter once we were seated.
Our cabin was large enough to hold the wheelchair and the scooter. Be sure and bring a power strip so you can charge the scooter during the evening while you sleep.
The batrhroom had a wheel-in shower and a pull down stool to sit on. The toilet had bars on both sides, in case it was needed. The sink accomodated a wheelchair.
My husband had no trouble parking the scooter near where we sat at the pool. We are going on the Constellation again in February and we will be in the same cabin and will rent a scooter again.
Good Luck.

Be sure and bring a power strip so you can charge the scooter during the evening while you sleep. The batrhroom had a wheel-in shower and a pull down stool to sit on.
