Going on a cruise in October and the friends we are going with cannot wait to play Fun 21. From what he has told me it is a six-deck shoe game with the Queens removed from the deck. I was told surrender is offered. He also said there was a side bet that had eight different payouts/bonuses. I have found on Wongs website, in the forum section, members discussing this game, but I cannot find many other details.
Any one know more about this game and the side bets?
Thank you.

Here is a better detail to the rules:
Dealer hits soft 17
Split Aces allows hits
Double after split allowed
Early surrender against an A and 10.
Double on any number of cards
21 is an automatic winner paying 1:1, a blackjack always paying 3:2 even against a dealer BJ.
I am not sure if this is spanish 21 or not, but it seems pretty close.

The OP says that queens are removed from the deck.

Is this game only offered on Carnival Cruise ships (i.e. their slogan is the "Fun Ships").
Wonder if Fun 21 is simply a derivative of Spanish (removing the Queens as opposed to Tens is mathematically no different in BJ, right?) that Carnival has made their own and avoided having to pay for Spanish 21 when offering it on their boats.

After reading the original post, that was my instinct. Spanish 21 also has the offer of the Super Bonus of 3 suited sevens against a dealer up card of seven and the special 6-7-8, 7-7-7 and 5+card 21 payouts. Take those away, and the house edge would go up a bit. I wonder if their regular BJ tables pay 6:5, so this is the enticement to play the game with less 10-valued cards in the deck.

The OP said early surrender against 10,and Ace,I don`t think spanish 21 has early surrender.
