Is FCC refundable if original cruise was concierge?

If your original cruise was concierge (nonrefundable deposit), and you decide to apply your FCC to a new cruise and sail nonconcierge, do you still have a nonrefundable deposit, or is the new cruise now fully refundable, up until its PIF date?

I looked through various existing FCC threads & couldn't find this info.

Under general rules, moving a concierge booking to a non-concierge booking still leaves the original deposit amount non-refundable even before PIF. I assume DCL is still enforcing that, but it's worth a call to find out if they have any leniency right now.

What's interesting about this is that if you opted to take the refund instead of the FCC, DCL would be obligated to refund you the full amount including deposit since they were the ones who cancelled, even though it is concierge (just like they have to refund a *GT fare, even though it too is "non-refundable"). Given that, I think there's a good argument that the new cruise should be fully refundable up to 100% of what you paid on the first cruise.
