Does this tub include a shower?
If it does not, I wouldn't use regular drywall, I would use "Moisture Resistant" drywall.

The reason you are getting seemingly conflicting answers here is because you still haven't answered the question: "Does this tub include a shower?" It makes a difference.
No shower: Moisture resistant drywall is OK.
Shower: use CBU.
Are you tiling the entire wall up to the ceiling?
Several months ago I bought a piece of tile backer board for a small job. I remembered it as a fiberglass based. I went out to the garage and looked again and it does look like a cement-based product.I don't know where you would get a Fiberglas tile backer board. I doubt there is such a thing. Never seen one.:no:
Okay...no tile on the ceiling.
I would use Denshield in this case. Shove it up tight against the ceiling and caulk that joint. There is absolutely no reason to run tape up there and create more work. Once the tile is in, caulk that juncture again, don't grout it, CAULK IT.

Is this "Whirlpool Tub" suitable for installation with a shower? Is it a drop-in type? What the heck are you doing?![]()
