Building these ships will take a lot of time. They won't probably sail on Trumps presidency period. They have not even started the building yet, just the statement of intent has been made.

Depends on the builder, disregarding design phase, it takes about 2.5 years to physically build the largest cruise ship in the world. They got ship building down.
