You are eligible for visa free transit in Shanghai in principle. To be completely certain, here are several conditions that your itinerary has to fulfill:
- Your flight from, I assume, UK to Shanghai should not have any additional landing within mainland China and in Japan
- 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 port
- Your flight from Shanghai to, I assume, UK should not have any additional landing within mainland China and in Japan
If the above mentioned conditions are fulfilled and you should check for them, then you will be definitely eligible for 144 hour visa free transit during your both of your stops in Shanghai. In other words, you don't need any kind of visa.
Also, you don't need to announce anything to anybody. The first time you will declare something will be at check-in in UK where you will declare that you will travel to Japan via Shanghai using 144 hour visa free transit. Here you will present the printouts of your flight and cruise tickets and after a short inspection, you will be allowed to board the plane.
Upon your arrival in Shanghai, you will approach 144 hour visa free transit where you will fill out the blue form and after a short inspection, you will get a sticker in your passport and be allowed to exit the airport and to enjoy your time as you wish until your cruise departure.
