This answer will assume that, by the word "decisions", you actually mean political decisions, including creating, enforcing, and adjudicating laws, and any operational governmental decisions required in those processes.

Firstly, there is no one "constitutional monarchy" design, like there is no "democracy" design. So, it is difficult to answer this question without reference to a specific instance of a constitutional monarchy.

Broadly speaking, there are three versions of constitutional monarchies, which vary in the amount of power vested in the reigning monarch.

In the first version, the monarch, while still retaining the Head of State title, is effectively a figurehead, and has no real power. The monarch may still retain certain ceremonial powers, and may in fact still have some obscure or self-used real power, but tradition insures that any actual power be used sparingly, and usually only after consult with the other branches of the government. Under this version, the Legislative branch is usually all-powerful, with the head of the Executive usually being a Prime Minister (elected out of the Legislature), and all Judicial appointments coming through the Legislative branch. Under this system, the Judicial branch still retains independence of decision-making, but it generally requires Legislative approval for appointments. A good example of this system is that of Great Britain.

In the second version, the monarch retains some real Executive powers, but they are limited in scope and/or may be overridden by the Legislative branch. Here, the monarch acts as the head of the Executive branch, with appropriate powers, but, in most cases, has a Cabinet or set of Ministers appointed by the Legislature, and who have power independent of the monarch. The Judiciary is separate from both, and appointments may either be by the monarch (with or without Legislative approval), or strictly through the Legislature. The Legislature may or may not have extensive law-making powers (depending heavily on whether the monarch retains an over-ride-proof veto). Generally speaking, this form has the monarch make all the Executive decisions, and take a leading role in passing legislation. The Judiciary may or may not be relatively insulated from influence by the other two branches. The Kingdom of Jordan is an example of this form of constitutional monarchy.

The final form of constitutional monarchy is where the monarch retains all Executive branch powers, without acquience of the Legislative Branch. Thus, all ministers and heads of departments of the Executive are appointed and solely responsible only to the monarch. In most cases, the monarch also retains a non-overridable veto on Legislative bills. In addition, the monarch usually appoints the Judiciary, generally without Legislative approval, though Judges may have some level of independence once appointed. Overall, the monarch retains most of the decision-making power in the country, while both the Legislative and Judicial branches acting in a secondary role. Monaco is an example of this form of constitutional monarchy.

It depends on the type of monarchy. In a normal monarchy, the monarch decides, although, in the type of monarchy Britain or Norway has, the monarch simply confirms decisions made by the parliament.
