Tile the walls first. Leave out the bottom row of tile on the walls. The floor will not be perfectly level so you won't be using a full tile on the bottom row of the walls anyway. Then tile the floor. Fill in the bottom row of tile on the walls, cutting each tile to the size needed. Leave a gap between the bottom row of tile and the floor approx the same size as the grout joints. Caulk the joint between the walls and floor.

The grouting will go a lot faster than the tiling. Wait till the end and you can grout the walls and floor at the same time.
