During WW-2 we could build a ship in 90 days. Why is it that these cruise ships all seem to be built overseas. As an aside, that is too darned big for me.
We did not make the investments in the building yards to accommodate this size ships. Very few commercial ships are built in the United States

A WWII Liberty ship was about one seventeenth the size of Wonder of the Seas. Nor did a liberty ship have any of the features of WOTS. Union contracts make it too expensive to build a cruise ship, or any other ship, in the USA.
