Does this tent have a true bathtub style floor? The Marmot website describes the floor as follows: "Catenary Cut Floor Fully Waterproof Floor with Taped Seams Lifted Off the Ground," but they don't actually use the word "bathtub."

Yes, it IS essentially a bathtub floor with a fancy cut floor panel. The lowest orange portion of the tent is coated with the corners being completely taped, reinforced and sealed. The sides of the "tub" if you will. Personally, i like the single door, No extra zipper and vestibule to haul around. But if you are using it for two people it's certainly not as convienent as stated below.

No, it is not a true bathtub bottom. The cantilevered business means that it's cut in such a way as to try and lift it off the ground. This along with having only one door located on one side are the two biggest shortcomings I can see with this tent.

It does. "Catenary Cut" is just fancy Marmot marketing speak that doesn't make much sense in this particular instance and on more than one level.
