There are things I like to be involved in and things that don't interest me. I don't participate in the pool games, but I like trivia. I don't do bingo or play the slots, or shoot hoops, but I do go to the shows in the theatre, and attend lectures. I like to talk to people, but I would prefer that there be less of them than there are on most cruise ships. I do also like the kind of vacation where we go and stay awhile, but I can't do that as easily anymore, so I do what I can.

This I understand, but I don't understand "I don't like it although I've never done/tried it".
