I don't know about Nassau but they are available for free on Castaway Cay. They have special wheelchairs with big baloon tires that can travel... or perhaps don't sink into the sand as easily as the narrow wheel wheelchairs.

On Castaway Cay, take your normal wheelchair off the ship. Then, when you are almost at the beach at Castaway (past the tram drop-off), you will see an area that has strollers and wheelchairs. Just leave your normal chair there and take one of the beach chairs. They have huge wheels so you can easily roll them in the sand--or the water. And, the seat is made out of mesh so you can totally be rolled right into the water.
You may also do the same with the strollers--exchange yours for theirs, which rolls easier on the beach. The strollers are not meant to go in the water though.
Have fun!

Everyone has mentioned CC, so no problem there.
The nice thing about Nassau is that the ship pulls right up to the dock, so no tendering. If you have a wheelchair on board you should have no problem getting off and on to the ship. Once you are off the ship there are several shopping areas that are fairly close to the dock, and it is all flat an level.
Judge Nassau for youself as the ship pulls in the port. If is does not look right for you, then you will have the best option of all: stay on board and enjoy a fantastic ship which will be virtually abandoned by all the other passengers!
