McClef is correct - contact the cruise line you're sailing with and ask. If the answer is yes, be sure to get the name, department of the person who gives you the answer, and the date and time as well, and take it with you in cas and security has another opinion. Most cruise lines x-ray all bags and if they find anything prohibited or questionable they'll have you come down to security.

However, the little caveat in the Cunard contract, which is similar to that used by other cruise lines, "any other item Carrier deems in its sole discretion to be detrimental to the safety or comfort of any person", especially the "comfort" part, gives them a lot of interpretive leeway.

That said, you can still be formally kilted without the sgian on your cruise. Few, if any, would even notice it's absence.
