That sounds like they don't know much about the difference between receiving 
only radios and ones that can also transmit. For a shortwave radio to cause 
a problem for the onboard nav equipment there would have to be something 
very wrong with either the shortwave radio or the navigation equipment.

Perhaps it is partly post-911 paranoia. The first time I went on a cruise 
(several decades ago now), I took my Sony ICF 2010 shortwave radio on its 
first vacation. In fact, I bought the radio not long before I was to go on 
the cruise for that very purpose. It never occurred to me to ask if it was 
ok to use onboard. I used it out in the open with the whip extended and no 
one ever said anything about it.
