Part one:
Denise, you are eligible for visa free transit in principle. Anyway, to be certain, here is a couple of conditions your itinerary has to fulfill:
- Your flight from, I assume UK, to Shanghai should not have any additional landing within mainland China and in the country where your cruise will have its first port of call, immediately after Shanghai
- Your cruise is not allowed to have its first port of call, immediately after Shanghai, in mainland China port
- Your cruise is not allowed to have its last port of call, immediately before Shanghai, in mainland China
- Your flight from Shanghai to, I assume UK, should not have any additional landing within mainland China and in the country where your cruise will have its last port of call, immediately before Shanghai.
Now, this can appear to be complicated, but in reality you should just check your entire itinerary and you will see that you are, I'm almost certain, definitely eligible.
During your first stop in Shanghai, if that one will be longer than 24 hours (from your scheduled flight arrival, until your scheduled cruise departure), you will be eligible for 144 hour visa free transit and in case if that time is less than 24 hours, you will enjoy 24 hour visa free transit. I assume that it will be 144 hour TWOV.
During your second stop in Shanghai, it will be almost certainly 24 hour visa free transit because you have mentioned that you will be taken to the airport directly from the cruise port.
