The achievements "Whatever floats your goat" and "The healing power of friendship" do not register, even when following the instructions exactly.
For the "Whatever floats your goat" achievement, the player must put a goat into a boat, and ride in the boat with said goat in the water. I tried this myself and nothing happened. I did not get the achievement. Even after taking a goat all the way out to the ocean for half an hour, i did not receive the achievement.
And for the "The healing power of Friendship" achievement, the player must kill a drowned or other hostile mob with the assist of a axolotl, while underwater. Once again, i tried this myself and nothing happened. Even after receiving the regeneration effect from killing the enemy with the help of an axolotl, i did not receive the achievement.
When trying to earn these achievements, i was signed into my xbox account, with a internet connection. I also tried going into completely new worlds without cheats, but so far nothing has changed.
I am currently not aware if the "Wax on wax off" achievement is working properly, since the achievement takes quite a while to earn.
Update: I have now tried the "Wax on, wax off" achievement. Just like the other two, they are unable to be completed. I have also tried using different Xbox/Microsoft accounts on various Windows 10 devices, but i still cannot earn any of the 3 achievements. I am, however, able to earn all three of these properly on my android device.
Update 12/1/2021:
The 3 achievements added in 1.17 are still not obtainable, and the ones recently added in 1.18 are not as well. I have attempted to complete the "Caves and Cliffs" achievement, however it never registered any progress at all. After my first few trials, i transferred the same world i attempted the achievement in to my Android device. Immediately, after the first attempt, i received the achievement as should happen on Windows 10.

I can confirm the achievement does not unlock for me either. Tried multiple goats in different oceans and rivers to no avail.
I can also confirm that "Whatever floats your goat" doesn't unlock for me. I've tried multiple times, in a fresh survival world, with good Internet, without enabling cheats. I'm running Bedrock version 1.17.41 on Windows 10.
It might be possible that the workarounds mentioned in MCPE-115808 help with allowing the achievements to unlock.
I would like to add that I am also not able to unlock the achievement “whatever floats your goat” I am in a world that can earn achievements, I am connected to the internet and logged into my Xbox account. I have had the same issue with the achievements “treasure hunter“ , “me gold!” , and “sound of music” . All same circumstances, I did the necessary requirements and for whatever reason did not get the achievement. I would also like to add the I have unlocked the master trader achievement in the same world, so it’s specific achievements not all of them in general. I have not altered my game settings at all. And I’m not sure if it makes a difference but I have been playing it on my realms, but like I said I have earned the master trader achievement so I don’t know what issue would cause specific achievements to not unlock even though I have completely all necessary criteria to earn them.
Closing this as Cannot Reproduce.
If you're still not able to unlock achievements, please see this comment from @unknown.
