o...ok... So far as I know, there are two airports in Shanghai... But to be honest, I've been a tour guide for cruises. But unfortunately, I'm not quite sure about the visa issue... I wish I could help you more but I'm not that familiar with Shanghai... But if you have any question about Beijing, feel free to ask me... Hmm... suggestion is that you ask the staff on the cruise - they must be the best people who know which kind of visa you need to apply...

I think your cruise ship would be at the Shanghai International Cruise Terminal at Gaoyang Lu/Dong Daming Lu. However you'd get the most accurate from your cruise provider, so it would make more sense to ask them instead of here.
It sounds like you'll need a multi-entry China visa! However I'm not sure if there's another kind of visa that's more suitable for cruises like yours -- check with your cruise provider about this.
No metro stop at the cruise terminal, sorry. How much luggage do you have?
Which airport? Do you mean Pudong airport (PVG) or Hongqiao airport (SHA)? Why go to the airport if you're not catching a flight out?
There're about 5 different metro stops for the Expo and yes, it's possible to go by metro from Longyang Lu to the Expo -- however you might need to change lines.
No ferries back to the cruise terminal, and no metro stop at the cruise terminal as I already said. You can take the metro to a nearest stop and then change to taxi, or taxi all the way.
If you've any more queries, email me at yahoo.com|ellyse99 and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Thera) in the subject line.
