Edward, if your stay in Shanghai is less than 24 hours, then you don't need to apply any entry permit. However, please do confirm this with your cruise company. A guy in a similar situation was required to apply for a transit type by the cruise company. He said that he wouldn't be allowed to board the ship if he didn't apply.
