No, it is charged directly to your credit card not to the onboard account. :)

Colo Cruiser, Thank you.

I wanted to buy a Future Cruise Deposit if I had any OBC left over.

But, I guess Princess needs a credit card to know where to refund if the FCD is not used.

(Plus, they probably want real money!)

Can the Future Cruise Credit be purchased with you onboard account? I would like to use part of my OBC to pay for the Future Cruise Credit.

Does anyone know if their published rates include taxes, or are they additional? The rate for Hyatt Place is $182, but I wasn't sure if that was total or just base rate.

Last February 2014, the published ValueTrips rate was $179. That was the pre-tax rate and an 11 percent tax was added to that rate. Therefore, I presume the $182 rate is a pre-tax rate and 11 percent $20.02 tax will be in addition to the $182.
