Definitely do not pay the deposit until policies get publicly posted on their website and you can get assurances when you book.
I have several on hold right now waiting for that before they get deposited.
One more advantage with group rates. You get the full balcony discount applied and it can be repriced if you change C&A tiers without affecting the rate you paid as long as you are 120 days to sailing.

You got the right rep that knew the process that these moves follows. Having the reps reprice the reservations prematurely can actually cause issues when the automated process starts.
I just had all of my new Enchantment reservations (originally Brilliance) automatically price protected this morning about 3 days after the bookings were moved over
It will be fixed automatically. Just be patient and let their processes work. This is a multi step process and will be done automatically over the next few days
I am surprised that they actually repriced it. The move is a multi step process and the price protection is the last step that normally takes a few days to a few weeks to complete and nothing to be worried about.
All of my Brilliance / Enchantment bookings were price protected today which was several days after the move.
The peeling was the result of a bad batch. We had them on Symphony in March yet 2 weeks ago on Ovation they were fine. The LA said they have used up most of them but every now and then end up finding a box that had the issues
