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.
