Do you mean that you need to get to the cruise ship pier in Osaka?
Or do you need to get to Kansai International Airport (KIX)?

I assume you're trying to get to the cruise ship pier... Any of the following options will work.

(1) Upon arrival, take Narita Express train to Tokyo then Shinkansen train to Osaka
Stay overnight in central Osaka.
Take the subway or taxi to the cruise pier. (proabably a pier near Universal Studios)

(2) Take the Narita Express train from NRT to Tokyo.
Stay overnight near Tokyo Station or Shinagawa Station.
Then take an early Shinkansen to Osaka.

(3) Stay overnight near Narita Airport (plenty of airport hotels nearby - or accommodations in nearby Narita City)
Take a flight from NRT to ITM next day.
Take a bus from ITM to Universal Studios Japan
Take a taxi from Universal Studios to the cruise ship pier.

I think Option 1 is rather heavy going if you are tired after a long flight.
I'd probably go for option 2.
