Question for the TAs out there- Group Rates

[kruzerci]

I have an open booking (which the T&C states will be refunded if not used within 6 months). 
 

I want to apply it to a sailing with a TA in a group block, (I know I will have to pay the additional $300 deposit to get into the group space). But the group deposit is refundable until final payment. 
 

If I apply the open booking to a group, will the full $500 deposit still be refundable until final payment or just $300 (500 less the 200 open booking). 
 

Thanks for any help

The full deposit amount would be refundable.

Fully refundable has been our experience.

I just applied my OBB certificate $200 to a group booking a few weeks ago.  I had to add $700 to the initial deposit.  My TA checked with Celebrity and was told that the $200 was not refundable.  The $700 would be she said.
