Generally, it is suggested to take the bus at Bund or Yu Garden. From Baoshan cruise terminal, you can take Bus Line 51 from Baoyang Road Wusongkou Road to Yixian Rd, Changzhong Rd. Then take Metro Line 3 from Jiangwan Town to Hongkou Football Stadium Station, then transfer to Metro Line 8 to Dashijie. Exit from the station, there is still about 2 km to the Bund, and you can take a taxi.
I'm not sure if the credit card is available, and it is better to prepare some cash.
