Rome Cruise Terminal
Does anyone have experience with wheelchair cruise travel out of the Rome Cruise Terminal? In reviewing things online, it appears taxis are not able to bring you directly to your cruise ship and, instead, you must take a bus from the terminal to your ship.

Hotels for hoist users P3

Charging scooter battery
Hi everyone, my husband uses a Luggie Scooter to get around. The specs for the battery are in the screenshot below. Can anyone help me with knowing whether I need a voltage converter for the charging unit in Japan? I’ve read the Accessible Japan page but still not sure. Thank you

Hi, I had to check recently to see if my smart drive charger would work. I asked ChatGPT and it said:
There are two things that determine whether a charger works abroad:
1. Voltage compatibility
Japan uses 100V electricity.
Most modern mobility‑device chargers (including SmartDrive) are dual‑voltage, meaning they accept something like:
