Interesting that she fits under the bridge yet the Encounter does not and they are both grand class ships  so you would assume similar/ same heights. 

Encounter is not being based in Sydney, so they haven't modified her funnel stack. The funnel structure on Adventure was specifically lowered so they could base out of White Bay.

We sailed on the Pacific Dawn in 2009 & 2010 and the Captain advised that they had to lower the upper part of mast above the ships bridge in order to pass under the harbour bridge

There is a service gantry that hangs below the road deck of the bridge. For Pacific Dawn, they did not need to park it over to the side for extra clearance, but lowered the mast instead.

That is what I thought.

Yes it does appear that the funnel structure has been lowered.
