It stands for "G"as "T"urbine "V"essel which Radiance class is now known as GTS not GTV.Last I saw it was removed from Radiance and is not on the other sisters.So in their case it isn't used anymore as far as I would say.

GTS or Gas Turbine Ship can also be used, as it is by Celebrity to describe Constellation, Infinity, Millennium and Summit.

Indeed, TGV like "Train à Grande Vitesse" (high speed train). The GTV logo has been removed from the hull of Radiance and has never been on any of her sister's hulls, like Cpt Rhone said.
