I finally got around to posting Walvis Bay, Namibia. The day was a fun one filled with riding in a vehicle up and down HUGE sand dunes. At the end of the blog see if you can identify our tour guide.

Finally got around to posting our June 3rd stop in The Gambia. An extremely poor country.

Our second day in Halifax. It should have been a better first and second day but issues with the ship's engines and poor communication caused us to miss much of the time we were in port. But, overall, it was a great first time visit to Halifax.

We had eight hours in Boston as unscheduled stop due to engine issues in Halifax which then caused us to miss our last two port stops in New York City and Charleston. The eight hours were in the evening so we decided to do a ghost and cemetery tour, along with taking in the fireworks show later in the evening.

Is it expected on world cruises to have engine failures?

Great photos!

No, the engine issue was not expected especially since the ship is only two years old. But we have heard the same propulsion issues happened last year

Got the blog finished by adding our last three sea days and the one remaining port blog which was out visit to The Cotswolds. We will put together one more post for the blog to provide a summary of the World Cruise with some statistics and also our thoughts on what went well and what was considered a failure.

I hope that you have enjoyed following the blog. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improving the blog posts if we decide to try this again in the future......thank you
