Scribe your cuts into the ceiling and grout the joint.

Scribe to the ceiling & either finish the painting & silicone or use decorators caulk as this can be painted.
Measure up & take off spacer size plus 2mm so if your using a 3mm spacer then measure & take 5mm off.

Before I comment....Will the tiles be too short to scribe to the ceiling ?

no tiles are ok as they will need to be cut

Ok then just refer to previous comments. Time consuming but worth it. You need to measure each individual tile and cut to fit. I prefer silicone myself but only if ceiling has been painted first. Have used both grout and decorators caulk in the past but as this is an expansion joint, it will always result in a hairline crack. Paint ceiling with a good quality bathroom paint and finish with silicone for best results.
